2397, How much you guys dropped?
Posted by nappyjim, May-18-01 01:45 PM
I want to get springs and I noticed alot of you either have Eibach Pro Kit or Tenzo R. Any reason why you choose these two? Is one better than the other. Also, how much of a drop did you get. I am probably gonna get some 17 inch rims with 45 series tires so what would be the best possible drop without having my tires hit the wheel wells?

i am dropped 4 inches all the way around (progress coilovers in front and cut tenzo's in back)
people mainly choose eibach because they dont sag over time like others do. most any spring is good though, people just use tenzo because they are fairly cheap. sprint, intrax and neuspeed are the other major choices. with the eibach pro kit you shouldnt have a rubbing problem, especially with 17s, but with a tenzo or sportline drop you may have rubs in the back if you correct your camber, but this is an easy fix.
