found a site that had generic 1.80" lower springs for $135.95 + s/h, and the Sprint 1.80" lowering srpings for $159.95 + s/h.


Sprint Lowering Spings

House Brand Lowering Springs

Call me snooty but I like to stay away from unproven brands for springs because of the fact that they are load-bearing structures. Material quality is paramount particularly with fatigue-resistant parts. Too many inclusions or variations in the microstructure of the metal and your fatigue resistance goes to hell. That wouldn't be a big deal with, say, strut tower bars as they are not load bearing under normal conditions. Springs, on the other hand, can cause a car to go out of control if they fail.

Now, I'm not dogging these brands- I've got no info on them... all I'm saying is make sure the springs you buy are proven, and the material they're made of are top-notch. Personally I'll only buy Eibach or H&R... their material is flat-out top notch. The extra $100 is far cheaper than the possiblity of an accident or fatal failure with unproven product. In my opinion, of course.

they are too pricey and i emailed one of the sites asking about the Sprint Lowering Springs with a 1.8" drop and he said $129 shipped!!!, they were listed @ $159.95 + s/h. so i might do that cause i will have rims with low profile tires soon and will need to try to lessen the gap between.

Make sure the car is able to re-align after such an aggressive drop. You don't want to have to spend extra on adjustable camber arms or whatnot as this would outweigh the price advantage you are motivated by.

just talked to my friend that runs a shop down near me. he contacted one of his Eibach Peeps and they said their springs will be out this spring and will be a 1.5" drop.

Wow, is that the pro kit or sportline variety?? 1.5" for the pro-kit would rock... pro-kits generally don't require new shocks as the intial progressive rate is often very close to the facotry linear rate.

The Mazdaspeed springs have a 20mm drop, are progressive, and Mazda makes matching shocks for them.

Hey whodiddy I am getting 18s in the spring. Is a 1.5 good or how low is to low for the 6s. I think a 2.0 drop will push it.
