Skun2 lowering springs or Eiback Pro kit lowering springs?

[S3cKsyMuFFiNz]

I was going to save up for coil overs, but springs right now have good deals. I hear with the Skunk2's you need 8th gen isolators because the 9th gen ones dont fit. For the Eibach I havent heard much off and they only drop (Coupe) 1.2 front and 1 rear as opposed to the Skunk2's 1.5-1.75 drop.

I have an SI and also wondering if these will work.

you can use any 8th gen springs, but you'll need rear upper isolators.

or part # 52691-sna-a01 from a dealership. It just may be quite a bit more. Whatever the 8th springs are rated for drop... add 1/4" lower. So if it says 2" drop for the 8th, it'll be more like 2.25" drop on the 9th.

I see. Well this is promising. Lol thanks man.

depends what you want the springs to do for you. are you looking for the springs that will lower you the most/looks or for something that lowers you and not sacrificing handling and ride comfort?

skunk2 will lower you the most w/o coils but still be very stiff and your ride comfort will decrease.

pro-kits will give you a decent drop but paired with shocks it will give you something close to stock when it comes to ride comfort.

nbp fg2 is on skunk2 springs and shocks and the asm fg2 (my car) is on pro-kits and tokico blues. both cars have 18'' wheels wrapped in 225/40/18

if you need more shots of either car just let me know...

 

[MITCH's SI]

you could also get eibach sportlines..they lower the car a little more than the pro-kits

Thats amazing. I was wondering how stiff? is it unbearable stiff or barely noticeable?

depends what you can/willing to tolerate. the owner liked his car stiff and had a ingalls power stick installed under the hood. your def going to feel everything on the road. again with what webby said add about .25'' to what the drop would be and from what options are there me personally id look at eibach pro-kits, eibach sportlines, or tein s.tech.

Yeah, I've been looking at the eibach sportlines. I might just get those. And I dont mind if I can feel the road I was just wondering what the feeling was like.
