#24695, "Cheap lowering springs"




          


I've been reading up on the cheapest way to lower my car.. so far Dropzones and Teins seem the cheapest, but the Dropzones are crap for some reason (how can a spring suck?) and the Teins are like a stock replacement that doesn't lower the car much at all. What other well-priced options do I have for lowering my car 1.5-2"? Eibach Prokits, Sportlines are favorites of the import scene but what about Maxspeed, Ractive, or Goldline springs??

If you want a solid drop, get some Eibach Sportsline. Personally, cheap coilovers are not worth spending money. I know ebay has some cheap coilovers for like $80. Don't get them. They bottom out. The spring quality are so shitty, they don't have enough spring travling which gives poor driving quality. I love my Pro-kits with my bodykit. I say Eibach IMO with some adjustable shocks.

My buddy lowered his car that way. It was okay, I guess, consideing it cost him Zero Dollars, but I was hoping to hold onto my stock springs to raise the car up again in winter.
