DoubleDeuce1973 Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Ok, I know that Eibach springs will lower the car around 30mm and Tein S speings will drop it 17mm front and 14mm back but is there anything in between? Bit worried by the Eibachs as don't want any rubbing / scraping and also already had a few garages struggle to get jacks under the car but 14mm on front doesn't seem to be enough. Also, anyone know what I would be looking at cost wise to have a garage fit them? Quote
Husky Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 i have the Teins and i love them, very subtle and the ride is spot on, not to harsh not to stiff. passengers dont even realise there is aftermarket suspension on but it does change the drive to be more responsive. i only needed to lower a little bit and i still ended up rubbing due to the tyre sizes. If you do rub its really easy to roll the arches and i have an arch roller for hire not rubbed once after rolling and i only rolled it subtly. Quote
Beau Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 If you want something in the middle go for the teins with the 17/14mm drop. Plus Im sure after time that will drop to about 22/16 so not too low and its a subtle change. Quote

Jixaman Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Just go low and find a garage with floor flush lifting kit... Why compromise... Quote
UNABASHED Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 i struggled to decide between the two and in the end i went with the eibachs. Spot on for looks and the ride is still fine, only issue is with garages getting jack under but that is partly due to the lower skirts as well. Main problem I have is the fact i now have a spead bump that has been built over the entrance to my street which effectively blocks my way out now! Quote
WINKJ Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Tein's are really good, like said earlier, handling is more responsive, and you don't have to worry as much as if you have the eibachs. Plus over time they will sag anyway.... Quote
Jixaman Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Eschbach it looks like... Is that a play on words... Most fun place on earth, nice pic... Quote
bronzee Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Speed bumps and driveways, carpark buildings, all the enemy of a lowered car. Quote
