Here's the Eibachs:

MrSypher

You see for me I like to get extreme... The eibach's don't have enough of a drop. It almost looks stock..

True. Even if it settles, I don't seem to think that it would be noticeable. The H&Rs might be a good compromise (1.4 front/ 1.3 rear). Some folks are saying that the H&R ride may be stiffer than Eibach. I have a feeling that if it is, it is just a little, tiny bit- almost unnoticeable. The Eibachs are stiff enough and I've ridden on both. Fact of the matter is I am pondering of putting in the OEM springs- just pondering for now. I've had the Eibachs on for only two weeks. The H&Rs are for sale in the "For Sale" section.

Isn't that funny? If I were to see a "lowered" look, then I would be OK with a more stiff suspension. But if the "lowered look" is not there, I guess I can live with the OEM springs with the "4x4" look. One thing I like about this Eibach is that the squat and dive are totally gone. Like a go-kart.

I should ask RON430 how his stock springs/Bilstein changed the dive/squat characteristics of the car from full OEM setup.

Hey Mike. Those 17's look so small w/your kit & your drop. Dude I can't beleive you actually even try to go over speed bumps. Hey it looks like you have like 1 inch clearance with the side skirts there bro. DAMN. I have gotten used to seeing your car w/ 20's . Damn it makes your rims look so small.

I know.. I just got tires put on my Rezax today.. I'm praying that Spring hits soon.. I might put the new wheels on this weekend so I can take some pics.. But they'll be coming off right after..




That's pretty much what the GS300 SportDesign comes with. It's not really that much of a difference from the regual stock GS's.. Just a tad stiffer..

I am about to install the Tanabe precidos on my stock gs400 with 17's. The shocks were just replaced by the dealer under warranty. How long do you think these will last with the 2inch drop using the Tanebe's and do you think it is TOO LOW? I do not want a rice or thug look. I want the sporty aggresive look...

elclassico

i think it would be perfect, where do you get those springs?

MrSypher

You'll probaly get a few months out of them.. But that all depends on your driving too..

I used to have 17's with a 3" drop as well - no probs and no wheel well rubbing either...see:

Hey guys thanks for all your feedback..

The springs are called Springtech...

It lowers my car by 2" I am getting 18's put on soon

Do I need camber kit after I am done??? I have RMM body kit now and I sometimes scrape the front in the dips...

Thanks

well the problem is there is NO camber kits for our cars... we are stuck

MrSypher

Yup and that stinks.....

Does this mean that I will have to rotate the tires every 3k miles or replace them every 10k?? HAHA i HOPE NOT
