Im thinking about getting some new suspension. Here's what i'm considering: A)Eibach Spring and Dampners ($600) or B)H&R Touring Cup Kit ($485). Eibach's will lower it 1.2-1.4 inches and H&R will lower it 1.5-1.6 inches. Its virtually the same as the Cup Kit (2.0-2.1 inches) but its doesnt lower it as much. I saw pics of Homeys set-up and it could be a tad lower though. Maybe the springs will settle. Do they settle at all, because their website says they dont settle down. I want it to handle well, look good, and have a nice ride. Does anyone have any problems scraping with their current set-ups?

with the stock body and a 1.5 drop you should be fine. not sure why i cant remember the name of the springs but theres people here with the 2.5 inch drop and i dont think even those guys have to much of a problem with stock body. how big are your rims?

I have eibach pro-kit springs and dampers and i must say it's awesome. not too stiff and not too soft, just how i wanted it. it's well worth your money and installed without any problems.

i bought mine from ebay qualifiedjapaneseparts, but i also ordered sway bars from shox.com and they have really really good service. they even called me a few days ago to tell me they've been shipped already. i'll bet they have the dampers too.

no scraping problems.

They will settle. Most members on here who have them have said that and when I had them installed they said to come back in a few weeks to have it aligned so they can settle. He said eibachs need time to settle, but some come pre settled. I would like it a tad lower though. So i might say go with H&R.

I havnt scraped and the ride is not that rough either. I love it! Ill measure the gap today, then in like 2 weeks do it again to see if i get any more of a drop.

Once you do this, youll want sway bars lol

SHOX.com has what you need
