Pretty sure I still look 18.......My Eibach pro kit lowered it to right where I wanted it, and the ride quality is not bad at all.
If I were 18, I’d cut the springs. Now, I try to do things right.
It did before. I will find a picture of it with the pro kit and post it. Give me a second...Ah, I thought i remember reading your coupe had the pro kit. I’ve considered these springs but wonder if a lighter coupe would have the same stance as your vert (which is great).
I used the pics of @Mstng93SSP cars as my most influential reference when I went with the Pro Kit. I was not disappointed at all. I also have adjustable rear control arms.Ah yes, it must have been an old pic I came across, I’m my endless “research”. It looks perfect. Combined with the good reviews regarding ride quality I would strongly consider them if not coil overs. Thanks
I get most of my inspiration from the Humane Society.
Your vert stance looks level, while your HT is raked? Am I seeing that correctly?With the eibach pro kit and adjustable rear control arms.
They are not even close to the same.So we have some for the H&R and some for the Eibach.....
When the dust settles, about the same?
Check the spring rate. (Most) any lowering spring will be a higher rate, so a rougher ride. Also, slamming is not helpful for handling. The ones that are most like the Steeda springs should not break up kidney stones and jar loose fillings.Next question, How will a set of H&R's ride compared to my stock 40 year old springs?
Are we talking Harsh or firmer.... I took my 89 year old Dad in my 650 and he said it was too " bumpy" riding......LOLI agree with @7991LXnSHO
Mine definitely rides harsher than the original springs, but feels more in control, if that makes sense. I knew I would have to sacrifice the ride to get the stance I wanted...... but I’m ok with that.
LOL.... Yes, that is on my mind..... A problem with the BMW in the above post.... LOL..... I think that is one reason we oldies like our trucks... I can climb into them without having to bend my hips or neck ( which neither work so good anymore) and the best part is " sliding out" to the ground.... Getting OLD sucksIDK, the lower you go, the harder it will be to get in and out (especially out) of as you get older! And the fact I just thought about that makes me feel even older now!
Not unless the car is sitting crooked.OK, so lets say I reuse my old springs... Pretty sure they are the ones that came in it from May of 1984.......
I understand "sag", so it might sit a touch lower, but will their age be make them worse handling than the stock springs they are?
The slight, easy ups and downs in the road are soaked up easily. The sudden bumps like hitting a small divot or bump jar you pretty good. Nothing unlike any other car that’s been set up for handling instead of comfort.Are we talking Harsh or firmer.... I took my 89 year old Dad in my 650 and he said it was too " bumpy" riding......LOL
It is farther to fall when you get out but I usually don't feel it till the next morningI think that is one reason we oldies like our trucks...
And it's not as far when you fall out, doesn't hurt as much the next morning.IDK, the lower you go, the harder it will be to get in and out (especially out) of as you get older!
