Best lowering springs ?
im lowered on bilstein shocks and eibach pro springs I think it’s too low any recommendations for some springs that sit higher and better quality ? Or even stock height springs that are good ? I’m not even sure how low it dropped it lol but big difference and there’s a lot of pot holes and messed up driveways in California lol

Plenty of springs out there that will work better for you. The Eibach pro kit has a 2" drop from what i can remember.. Thats quite a bit. Especially on Bilsteins. Strano and BMR are excellent choices. I happen to love my Hotchkis springs. They look fantastic and ride great, but are a pain in the d*ck to install.

Living in California, I can attest to the condition of the roads. I went from Eibach Pro-Kit and KYB's to Strano springs and Koni S/A shocks. WORLD of difference. I've had a few people compliment me on the ride and handling of the car. It doesn't sit too low, but it doesn't sit high either. Car went up a little bit from the Eibach springs too.

I love this. What more can I say?

Guys, please. Summit Racing? Strano has all the UMI stuff too, if you want to go that way. Theirs are stiffer and lower than are mine, but if you want I like the UMI guys and would happy to supply those.
And remember who is in here all the time, and who isn't (hint, I don't see Summit in here)

Hotchkis are very progressive, which means a whole bunch of coils touch each other and make getting a spring compressor in and out of the fronts to install is a pretty bit PITA unless you have access to a really fancy $600 type setup.

Best = Strano springs and Koni shocks. Night and day difference. One of the best upgrades I made!
Only thing I wish is the back sat slightly higher, I think I'm going to try doing the heater hose mod to get a little rake.

I have some options for the rear up if you want. How much higher do you want to be?
