Everyone is using Tein s-techs, Eibach sportline for basic aggressive drops or you can go with Tein ss, megan racing coil overs for more control over ride height check out there websites for more info !

I have the Eibach pro kit. It's a conservative drop (about 1") for this car. Not too low to cause bottoming out in turns with bumps and not too high. Rides just like stock to.

How low are the Tein S-tech springs?

Stechs are great for the money. The springs arent that much higher than the stock ones though, mainly for looks.

The front looks like a clean drop. But the back doesn't look dropped very much at all Maybe it's just the angle though.

same here too they are nice but its either my tire size or someting wrong with my set up , (rico) when you are driving normal speed and you see a slight bump or like just a normal consierable pavement does the car sound aweful?

i love the springs the drop is nice and i got 225/40/18 sounds like when the tires hit the op of the black inner fender (normal?) or to big profile ?\


oh and the eibach pro kit is 1'' drop on front and 1.2 on back

I'm almost ready for my Tein FLEX setup with EDFC.... there are areas I drive where a drop would be bad, so adjustable ride height is KEY for me.

So your gonna get out and adjust the height before you go on those streets?

EDFC only adjusts dampening... NOT ride height.
