lowering springs

MILLA · 10-19-2024, 10:53 AM

What lowering springs are you guys running?
pros/cons?
brand you like and are having good experiences with?

I've seen springs from H&R and eibach.

I don't want to go super low, it's a daily. but I do want to close the gap a little and keep a good driving feel

thanks

There are numerous threads discussing this subject, ad nauseum.

I think you would like Eibachs then. It lowered the car a tad but not overly so

If you haven't taken delivery yet highly suggest the MP HAS port installed. If you have the car already then there are plenty of other options to consider.

I'm running HR's on mine, nice stance and haven't notice a difference in ride...

That’s beautiful. Are you on spacers too? Does comfort mode feel like sport now?

Yes, 15mm all 4 corners. The Eibachs only lower it .75" front and .5" rear so it doesn't really change the ride quality. I saw your PM and all sides have an equal drop.

I went with a set of ATS HAS along with a few suspension arms etc. will be posting more about it when car arrives. thanks for the help

Have you bottomed out at all? The only thing I dont like about the eibauch kit is the lack of shorter bump spacers included. I worry that .75 drop is taking away that much travel too.

Not at all, the car still feels completely OEM. Eibach claims a .7" drop in front and only .5" in the rear. In my measurements it only lowered it .6" front and .5" rear.

My Eibach Pros came with instructions to cut the stock bump stops.

It’s a bummer they don’t include some.

Some USA Eibach Pro Kit Springs info for those who care.

For the fellow OCD guys who did springs only. Did any of you measure your gaps all around to confirm the gaps were equal? One time I lowered a car with springs only, one of the rears was much lower than the other side. Im aware they usually leave the driver side a smidge higher. But it was still off a lot even with me in it.

That's the US version as it doesn't lower it enough to need to do it

I already did this and it was equal on all 4 corners. BTW, even factory setup can have some differences.
