I went from coilovers back to stock suspension on my 93 EG Hatch and have 15" rims and tires (stock is 13"). and I just bought some tien lowering springs that are supposed to drop the car 1.75". That was the shortest drop I could find, I really don't want my car too low. Is my car going to be slammed?

 

Nope. I had some s-tech's and it was a very tasteful drop. definately not too extreme.

It wont be slammed, but it will be a decent drop. If they are for the car in your avatar, i think it will be near perfect ride height.

 

I have Eibach sportlines on my car, I forget how big the drop was, but it looks great. I do know that it's more than 1.75" though.

 

are you guys running it on stock struts?

 

Thanks guys, I feel a lot more assured about my purchase now

 

Yes the struts are stock. I replaced them recently

 

sweet hatch buds! Just curious tho, why wouldnt you get tokico struts if you were droping it? The stock ones dont like the lowness.

I will warn you now. Running any lowering spring on stock struts will cause the struts to blow prematurely. Mine lasted about a year till all 4 blew. I suggest you get some kind of aftermarket struts.

 

eibach drag lowering springs, and i am also running on stock struts. I do plan to replace them this summer tho, hopefully i cna find tokico blue's

 

I ran some s-tech's on my EK. It was a nice drop, and I would probably invest in some aftermarket struts to.

I ran KYB GR2's on the front and it rode better then stock I thought. I loved my S-techs and would definitely advise anyone thats interested in a nice lowering spring to purchase them.
