Hey guys,
As most of you know, I have been saving up to lower my car. I purchased brand new shocks and brand new eibach springs. So today I went to my mechanic and he took off the existing springs /shocks on my car . I was OWNED!!
All this time, my car was lowered on eibachs and I had no idea nor did anyone know. The reason is that the eibach logo is on the top of the coil and the only way to see it is if you take off your springs and shocks.
Since my car is already lowered I won't need these BRAND NEW and NEVER used parts. Therefore I am going to sell the Brand New Eibachs (box has not been opened and has the staples on the box) for 220.00 and the KYB shocks for 220.00 as well.
I am just trying to prevent a loss on my behalf. Please let me know if you guys are interested in any of these.
Thanks,
Bryan

Ok Bry...now you KNOW you deserve this one.
Dude, you remember how I always mentioned that your car looks lowered right? *sigh* Sorry to hear about the mishap though. You should post your shocks/springs up in the classifieds section...Maybe our beloved Classified Section mod will move it for ya.

Why don't you sell the new Eibachs and buy some Intrax or other spring that will drop the car a little more.

Darn-it, I'll be at my parents' house this weekend.
As far as mods go, I'm pretty happy with my car now. If there's anything I might add, it might be some exhaust tips like the Borlas.

The one thing is you have sold yourself on going lower, so why just take the Eibachs back and get different springs! A good frame of reference to let you know it will be okay is your current situation, you were really worried about rubbing, scraping, etc with the Eibachs, and you have had them from DAY ONE!!!
I say, you wanted a lower drop, and there is nothing wrong with that, actually the car will look nicer, just trade your springs, because your factory struts could probably use the replacement anyway!
Good luck man

Hey Bryan, I think you should get the Tanabes. We all know that you want that "lowered" look and the Eibachs is not low enough for you. You should just sell/trade the Eibachs for the the Tanabes.
Good luck.

I also agree with the other guys, put on some 1.8 springs, it will lower your car just enough to get rid of the gap you don't like. Change your stock struts to KYBs too, your old ones are probably worn out and if they are not, they will be after you put on 1.8 lowering springs.

Dam Bryan under normal instances I would put "ownage" all over you, but dam this sucks. Sorry to hear about this. You should try to get some coilovers or the tanabes IMO, but hopefully everything works out for the better.
