Post PICs INCLUDED!!!..Need DROP and help!

What springs would i need to drop my 1994 SC 300, I need to get rid of all that extra space in the front. Thats right!!!.....I have 20's and I want a drop. I need to smash my car a good 1.5" in the front. The back/rear is okay though, it could use a good 1" drop. Oh yeah, no one responded to my other post, what does it mean when your cruise control and air bag light keeps blinking while you ride?

After I get the drop, or if ya'll convince me not to get the drop, i'll post some more updated pics of my baby? What reputations will I face from this drop, is Eibach the best springs to get? How much and where to get Eibach?

only way your gonna get that drop is coilovers... I know that the Eibach supra springs will give you 1.3 in the front, but you have to get supra struts for those (only for the rear, but it never hurts to get new struts when your getting lowering springs...) As far as coilovers go, some people on this board have been having good luck with JIC, and some with Tein. Both work great and are adjustable. good luck-

Default Eibach supra springs / supra struts ....

Don't the Eibach supra springs / supra struts.... cause our SCs to have uneven tire ware?? I think I have read this on the SC boards but I can't rem 100%... Please correct me if I am wrong... I was thinking about the Eibach supra springs / supra struts but after reading that they cause problems with tires and not getting the FULL length out of them and also talking to other people they all say that coilovers are the best............ Because springs can sag over time (not sure if Eibach would) but also that coilovers can be changed at anytime to any height................

Default SAG???

Come on Eibachs don't sag they settle... When you first put a spring on they will all sit a little higher then they are intended to.. I think this is what you all are talking about but they settle not sag.. Eibach a pretty good quality spring.. In my opinion....

When they settle, you might have a hard time with driveways and etc. When I cut mine and they finally settled, I changed them to the Supra TT springs. Way too low for me. The money I spent, I would have been better off getting some JIC coilovers...

Espelir springs 1.5". Stiffer than stock. I don't see too many guys using them. It looks like Eibach has the advertising edge. I used to have a mustang with Eibachs and I prefer the Espelirs. But now were comparing a mustang to a SC, no comparison in quality. If you want the extra 1/2 inch then go with the ESPELIR.
