I'm actually going to red ue my suspension in a couple of months(sits to low) cant get yup my driveway.... I'm either going w/ Eibach Ground Controls(adjustable springs) but I'm havein troubleing finding the spring rates on them... also thikiing about Eibach Prokit... But when you do your suspension dont use stock shocks w/ a 2.5drop, the OEM shocks cant handel that drop. ... But GL w/ suspension

I will be selling my Eibach Pro kit within the week. so if you want them you can buy them.

That sounds good depending on the drop, price, and mileage on them. Just let me know, please. Thanks Allex.

you can do any drop you want it just depends how long you want ur stock shocks to last i would reccomend just replacing them with something that will handle the drop better if you have the budget of course. Other wise just get what you want and enjoy your shocks will last you awhile b4 they die. I would say dont drop more then 2 inches just my opinion dont want to be to low what with all the great roads they have here in missouri lol. I am droped on comptechs they are ok wouldnt reccomend them though.

If you want H&R springs still, I would suggest H&R OE springs.. its like a 1in drop over all... But If I remember correctly you can do up to a 1.3drop?...my friends put h&R sports on their oem shocks and it lastest 25,000miles..LMAO

but you ur really want a a 2.5drop go do urself a favor and buy shocks w/ springs... or you could just buy an coilover set!!

PM you Alex!!

I appreciate all the input everyone. I guess next is to find pictures of certain drops. 1 inch seems almost unnoticable, but I'll see.

Elaborate? They are progressive springs... Mine did sag just a little, but it lowered it to exactly what I was looking for.

My RF spring sits a lil lower than my LF spring... I have one fingure on one side and I can't fit any on other.. It made such a diffrent that now when I turn sharpe left or right the RF tire hits my finder linner...makes terriable noise...

I would def contact them about it. Mine never sagged like that. Did you check the spring hats to make sure that the RF one didnt pop out?
