Default Lowering springs..... see inside.

Just by chance have any of you put lowering springs on your 8 and then upgraded to coil-overs? If so I would like to buy your lowering springs. The various sources for the Eibach 1.5" kits have been back ordered for almost 4 months!!! Help, I need to get slammed.. he hee.

Also, Paul do you have any thoughts using the '04 19's with stock tires on a 2000. According to the chart they are 2% over. As you can see I plan to lower the car and I am worried about clearance issues.

Thanks.

Keep on keepin on!

Default I don't think 2% oversize tire is a big deal

It's still very close, and to date, nobody has any kind of rubbing problems with tires that are that close.

Does anybody have the Eibach spring kit installed? One reason why I strayed away from it when I got my H&R's was that it was just a spring upgrade, and no shocks. It's a lot of labor to put those on, and the H&R's are so sweet.
