Default Im new to suspension.......will this work???

Like the topic said, i dont have much knowledge about suspension...but i was wondering, im going to be getting 15s on my 94 teg..and what i want to do, is lower the car a bit, so there wont be a huge gap between my wheel well. So could i get eibach springs, and lower it w/that, without having to buy shocks struts, coilovers..all that stuff?...and if i did it this way, will it be bouncy??>.i dont want that..just a nice snugg fit.......yes im a noobie to susupension......alright thanks a lot.

Sounds like you should get a prokit. Its a lowering spring by eibach. The shocks will depend on your wallet, but konis are your best bet if you can afford them.

prokits are OK. they won't reduce the gap all that much. when i had them on my EK i had a 2 finger wheel gap. if you want to go a little lower, then get the eibach sportlines.

Seems like the sportlines are not stiff enought to keep you off the bump stops for how much drop them give. Althought the prokits might not keep you off the bumpstops if you get crazy.
