WTB: Lowering springs

Postby BJL90 » Mon Aug 03, 2015 12:20 pm

Hey all

Just wondering if anyone has any lowering springs for sale?

Open to most brands but prefer to stay away from King Springs

And before anyone tells me I know coils are a better option but I have a few things I want to do before I get them :)

Thanks!

Not too sure on second hand but New Eibach sportline coils go for about $380 for the set.

It sits about a 1" - 1 1/2" drop.

Eibach Pro Kit offers the same ride quality as the stock springs while giving the Goldilocks drop, not too low, just right. Some others still find it too high though, and go for the Sportline that drops a bit more.

Just did a search for Eibach Pro on eBay, they are going for about $500 shipped but from over seas. Are they available locally and for how much?

I'd like my CJ a bit lower but not too low so it's not hitting the road going in and out of drive ways.

How do they compare to King Springs?

OT - washing the car some times I feel tiny, when parked a a slight slop its hard to reach the center of the roof from the low side and I'm not short being 183 cm tall. Need some lower springs to make washing the car easier... now I just need to convince others :D

BTW - right now I have the CC and CJ next to each other in the garage, still can't believe how tiny the CC looks next to it.

Eibach coils are a progressive rate coil.
Kings coils are a linear rate.

The Eibach coils ride a lot more comfortably then the Kings coils.

The group buy is going ahead just waiting to get the prices. But should definitely be cheaper than $500

Cool, I went to the FB page and clicked the join button.

And hopefully in a short while I'll be getting about $500 back from my taxes :)
Yes I know there is also an install cost, what should that be if I don't DIY?

My lancer stock scrubs on driveways. But that's because the ones around here are those curvy ones not a conventional drive way. Id be keen though and I'll just put some wood down to help getting in and out

I have destroyed my cat and front cross member on my old driveway. I had to get it dug up and re concreted.

If it takes a while for you to be accepted into the group, let me know and I'll PM one of the admins to make it a bit quicker.
Once you're in just use the search this group bar on the top right of the page for "Eibach springs group buy" and my post should come up with all the info i have so far. You just need to comment on that post, which springs you want as well as if it's for NA or Ralliart and I will tag you in my following posts to update you on the group buy!
Also let any other friends know that may be interested in the group buy :D

Really hope I can afford this, even if I get them to fit later.

Any idea if a dealer would charge more? My VRX is under a used car warrant and not sure if I can get suspension work done else where.
