So i had the car up on a hoist yesterday and noticed one of my rear springs was broken.I was wondering why it sat a lil low on that side.Anyways i'm looking for something that will lower my car to where it sits now...about a 1.5 inch drop.Any suggestions on what brand to get? Pics would be also be useful.


PS I did do a search and it didnt come up with much.

Thanks.

my front left spring broke and i got bullitt springs from PPI. i like the ride height. low enough too look good but tall enough to be reasonable and streetable.

I priced some springs at a local Autoparts place and im looking at about $500 for a decent set so i decided to look on EBay and found these.What are your thoughts on these?

I dont know if you do this but I always order parts and just have it shipped to a UPS box in the states and then I just go pick it up.

But if you want to stay in Canada, specifically ontario....go to 2koolperformance.com The guy can get anything and everything

Dude there are a lot of brands of decent springs you can get for much cheaper than 500$. FRPP, Steeda, Maximum Motorsports, etc. The Eibach springs are supposed to lower it quite a bit, if I recall right.

eibach pro kits are a good choice, great stance and good performance. the sportlines are cool if you want your car slammed. i used to like them, but now they're too much imo. they'll lower your car more than it is in that pic you posted.

I like H&R springs, but the sports tend to lower the car way down.

Nice for a weekend cruiser. Not nice if you need to daily drive it
