    Lowering springs

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    My car is a lease so I don't want to do full suspension. What are the reviews on the eibach and h&r springs which ones do you run and what feels closer to stock? Sorry I am on my phone so I can't really search for a similar thread so sorry in advance for a repost....

    Closer to stock would be coilovers. Actually better for you being you pull your oem struts/springs and replace with one "piece". You can get KW V1 or ST for around $750 I believe. Plenty of threads. Search AMI.

    I agree on both comments, however whats your reason for lowering it? If its looks then yeah do springs but if you want a better cornering car maybe consider the Alu Kruz. Cheaper(once you add in install and alignment) and you can probably resell it easier too

    I'd agree but maybe for him money isn't an issue. It doesn't sound like it.

    I'd say just go for coilover such as the Bilstein PSS10's. It's adjustable height to how you want and same with the firmness. It's easy to change the firmness. Should run you about $2600 for the coilover and installs. Oh and another $600 for the coilover removal to return the car to stock, for a total of $3200. Then you can probably just resell the PSS10's and get back about 75% of what you paid for.
