Is It Possible.....

[JRector]

To buy a set of eibach lowering springs and put them on myself with a spring compressor and then immediately take it to get an alighnment? some people told me the alignement wld be so bad its not possible and id have to have it professionally done

[cklinh]

I've always heard you need to let the springs settle a bit before getting the alignment.

[rollaevo99]

^^^ yes it's true...... the thing about Eibach it sags......I had mine for almost a year my front end sags so much, coz I had V6 it looks like the engine is too heavy LOL .....but my advice to you is to save up some $$$$ and get coil over instead

[Eye8Pussies]

^ sags? Eibachs don't sag my friend....

but yes, it's best to let the springs settle at least a week or so first if no longer

then your alignment should be true

[JRector]

whats the difference between coil overs and lowering springs? but if i wait about a week to get an alignement, wont that mess up my steering and stuff?

[rollaevo99]

it really sags in my opnion....

^^^well you could see on my sig......some people thinks I have coil over......

[Solarafreek]

I didnt need an alignment..

[JRector]

sweet, well is a 1.8" drop a decent drop for there to be NO gap at all?

[Americanctm10]

you'll probably still have a gap, but it will still look a whole lot better. What size are your wheels?

[woa_its_j3ff]

go with teins or intrax. or eibachs.
intrax will give you the most drop.
i think most people here with gen 1/1.5s run with teins. i doubt you'll need an alignment with such a smalld rop.... with coilovers you might htough..

so what better? coil overs or lowering springs? and which is cheaper?

[woa_its_j3ff]

lowering is cheaper. from what i heard coilovers is way better, it's adjustable.. you can adjust the ride height.

But coilovers will give you a much harsher ride..
lowering springs/struts Will NOT be adjustable.

either way, you really can't go wrong

coilovers will give you a lower drop if you want to, but at 2-3 times the price (springs+struts vs coilovers) if you havent noticed they have both struts and springs in one package...

rollaevo99 - you probally sag cause you have stock struts. when i had my stock struts and lowered springs i was lower then when i added some tokico struts.

coilovers, but you will pay a premium. lowering springs is the cheaper way to go. recommend you replace the stock struts with tokico hp's. i have been running those and tein springs for 3 years with great results.
