Want to lower car..help?

[Kevin R.]

I searched through the hundreds of "what spring to use" threads, but never really found the answers to my questions, so don't yell at me.

Do the FMS C Springs give a more suddle drop than the Eibach kits, because my bro said the Eibach slams it to the ground, which is not what I want.

Also, on some websights it says the C springs only lower the car 3/4", and as my car is set up for mountain climbing and other various offroad experiences( ) , I think I will need more drop than that.

Also, the C springs are a great deal cheaper, so if they are about the same, I know I would rather get those, because money is kind of an issue. (birthday presents!)

Any advice/pictures would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin

this is lab rat's car with C springs. A lot of people say buy c springs and cut a coil off, but i say if you want a lower drop just go with some eibach sportlines. Dont forget to do shocks and struts. I just blew my rear shocks and need to buy new ones.

Here are some B Springs on S/CBlack95GT's car

Here's mine with Eibach Sportlines.

The Eibach Pro-Kit is about 1/4"-1/2" higher and I've heard it actually handles better than the Sportlines.

Does the Pro-Kit have a larger drop than the sportlines?

Those sportlines look GOOD.

The C springs, with no coils cut, give a nice subtle drop. It looks like it came that way from the factory, instead of looking obviously lowered.

All in all, for the money, would the c springs be the way to go?

No the Pro-Kit is just a touch higher. I have a pic of my friends car with the pro-kit, I'll try to find it and post it later.

With the right struts and shocks, absolutely.

I don't know much about the FMS springs, so I can't really help out there. But here's that pic of the Pro-Kit on my buddy's car.

The one thing I cannot stand about Eibachs is evident in both pics that have been posted of them. They usually sag in the back and that looks horrible. Even the most subtle sag looks bad. C springs all the way.

I see what you mean. If i got c springs, what shocks and struts would you recommend?

Thats the main thing I hate about my Sportlines. I'll probably be going with coil-overs next summer.
