lowering springs? who has them

[thake618]

so i always thought it would be cool to lower my car a bit. anyone have them? i was looking at these not wanting to spend 500 bucks. tell me what you think lol also do you have to change struts as well or will they work?

[MeanTA]

You want to change the springs. As far as springs you get what you pay for. I run BMR springs they are a 1.25 drop.

[thake618]

so whats the downside to buying those springs?

[MeanTA]

I can't see what your talking about. Im on taptalk.

[thake618]

alright sorry, jsut a set of lowering springs on ebay they are 80 bucks lol 1.25 in drop i think

[MeanTA]

Ok i know the type your talking about. The ride will be real bad. With the ebay springs.

If u dont care about ride quality

Go for it... I have eibachs (2") with 8 way adjustables up front... Made my rear shocks vertical by emoving spacer bushing o bottom and added drag bags for road trips..(heavy luggage). My car rides like am 85 corolla sr5 with the springs removed... But it makes me feel like i have a bigger dk. (lol).

Serioisly...at 80 bucks...try it. no likey remove and sell.

lol noiccee! do I have to do any other mods or just spring swap

[BillS24]

If you're only going for the look I guess the ebay springs will do. If you want the look and performance get Strano or BMR

[casey20000007]

Just plz don't cut or heat your springs


SMOKE TIRES NOT DRUGS

[McCauleyWB]

I've been very pleased with the BMR springs. They are very similar to the Stranos. Not sure how much they run on their own as I got them in a kit with Koni shocks, but it was reasonable from what I recall.

You need an adjustable panhard bar. When you lower the rear axle will shift to one side. The adjustable pan hard will let you move it back to center.

If you lower it too much you'll change the angle of the control arms and get wheel hop. Might need relocation brackets if that happens. And if you are changing 18 year old springs. Might as well do shocks and struts

[thake618]

its 1. 1/2 drop and yea i know i was planning on doing it all at once

I lowered mine last year with Eibach Sportlines on Factory Shocks. My front shocks are still holding up good but my rear ones after a month i had to replace them.
The ride is not bouncy or stiff, It rides Smooth/Stiff lol.
But with Long tubes and Sportlines you will have to go sideways on speedbumps Because It scrapes!

Why buy springs just for looks when you can get good performance too for a little extra? Also, I wouldn't put lowering springs on stock shocks, you're asking for trouble that way. BMR springs and Bilstein HD's here.
