i want to lower my 5th gen about 1.5 inches, what do i need to do it and not have ricer bounce, or a sucky ride, and what do yall recommend to do it?

 

Eibach sportline springs

 

thats it? nothing else

 

buy my Vis V-Spec II coilovers for 250 shipped, that way you can adjust your ride height!

 

H&R Sport springs are 1.3" all around, and are on sale at tirerack.com for only $128 (normally $200)

 

i have heard of ppl gettin camber kits and such? do i need that, my rents want me to lower my car the right way and im only 15 so i dont kno much

 

yup, camber kits and an alignment, or your tires will wear wrong, end up replacing tires a lot, depends on the drop

 

man screw all that OTS crap

get yourself a cutting torch, and lop off a few spring coils! walla, instant drop, on OEM parts

haha, seriously what r sum good brands and what do i need to jus do a 1.5 inch drop, does a camber kit drop it or do i need other stuff with it, i dont kno suspension stuff

 

Get some nice lowering springs from a reputable brand, like Eibach or H&R. New shocks would help too. After lowering your car, go get an alignment.

 

Question from the OP on camber kits, and no responses ....

If you're looking for a drop of about 1.5", then a camber kit is not needed. Save the money that you would of spent on a camber kit and spend it on an alignnment after you get droped. Have the shop adjust Toe to factory specs so that you will get even tire wear. Besides, a little camber will help in the performance of your car in cornering.

My advice .. get adjustable height suspension ( "coilovers" ). The reason .. once you go 1.5" lower, you'll ride that way for a while and then you'll want to go even more lower. Get coilover suspension so you wont spend more money on dropping your car lower later. Look into Skunk2 coilovers for a good product and a good price. Research about shocks too, because you'll need something better than OEM if you go below 1.5"

 

Camber kits are needed with any springs/coilover system that lowers ur car +/- 1.5 or more.Get ingals or something good....no ebay camber kits!Trust me on that one.

And they're much softer than the Eibach Pro kit and H&R Sport. So on one hand, you gain ride quality, but you lose handling

 

i will look into all of those, thanks guys

 

I love my Tokico HP's and 5Zigen R-Rated Springs. 1 3/4" all around and camber is within spec according to my alignment sheet.
