That is exactly the wheel and suspension setup I was looking at. Too bad it rubs.

Friends don't let friends put lowering springs on stock shocks.

Some people dont have the money for all that Michael.
15k miles aint too bad and shocks arent that expensive but you are right if you dont want the hassle of changing the shocks, get coilovers or aftermarket shocks with the springs.

I have the eibachs installed with stock rft and i have no rubbing.
the ride is a little stiffer but you get used to it.

working sunday sux

looks good

MastaMind · 12-21-2008, 10:36 AM

Any further comments on the way these springs feel during aggressive driving?

I'm toying with the idea of these springs with the Koni FSD's, but I'm concerned that it will be too soft. My biggest complaint with the car is how soft and wallowy the stock setup is.

marcus · 12-21-2008, 10:54 AM

it will definately be stiffer. i have mine on stock shocks, its pretty stiff already but i manage.

fmxomar · 12-21-2008, 01:04 PM

to me its def a little stiffer body rolls a little less, doesn't seem to be a much harsher ride

Looks perfect, please, don't do the roof! Reason being, it doesn't "flow" with the front window.
