Has anybody lowered there car Well seeing as i have SLP longtubes with some BMR boxed SFC, and I have going on some 17x11 rims. Has anybody lowered there car with a similar set up. I was thinking about the Eibach kit but still am not sure.

I would go with a less aggressive lowering option.. the Eibach (sportline??) or the Hotchkis springs are only said to lower the car an inch (seemed like 1.5" on my car though)
Anyone else??

Re: Has anybody lowered there car The Eibach Prokit is 1.5 drop, it would be a good choice for your setup. The only real problem would be the Y pipe. If your Y hangs down much, u may end up flattening it out. I have LG springs on my car and I'm planning on haveing Hooker LT's on the car and I should have plenty of room.

Re: Has anybody lowered there car as of right now, im on the eibach prokit with hotchkis boxed sfc's, and really my only complication is when i go over speed bumps, ill scrape the exhaust crossmember...and the coming out of driveways, if its real steep i may scrape the bottom of the borla tips, and definitely the plastic air damn up front.
