I want to lower my car!
just a bit like 2 inches or less
whats the best choice for my money
I plan on doin this real soon
Im thinkin of lowering springs!

what do you guys think

 

I prefer springs...just me though. Eibach!

 

I think springs and KYB AGX will be a good set up for u. It isnt expensive and it will be a nice ride

 

I swear to god this was just asked last week

It's more a matter of $$. You only wanna spend 400-700, get Eibachs and KYB's or Tokico's.
You wanna really get something swEEt, looking 1200-1500, teins or any other coilover.

Those one's you've seen on ebay don't count!

True. Here we go again Doc.

I say 2" or less go springs. Honestly ask yourself what percentage of time you will be spending on the street compared to the track before you consider full coilovers like Tein or Zeal or Apexi, etc.

Keep in mind though that it's pretty standard that if you go more than 1.5" you'll be better off with upgraded shocks (I agree with Doc on the AGX's) and I'll bet you'll need an alignment also.

Upgraded shocks are necessary because you take the stock shocks out of their intended "stroke" and you shorten their dampening capability, which will lead to premature failure.

Alignment will be necessary unless you work for Toyo.

I think I explained that right... it's late

 

yeah, you finished me off just fine, thanks

if you use springs, you NEED shocks, because like he said they won't be working in their optimal range, which will leave your suspension all to the springs, not a good ride.

dont sell yourself short I had eibachs and i didnt like them I got rid of them and got JIC and they re is a HUGE difference

 

...depending on the budget, that's a huge difference in price too

 

get springs.. better ride.. and you dont have to count threads to make sure all corners are even..

cant forget the adjustable shocks either!

 

Springs will do, specially if you only need 2 or less inches. I have "SPRINT" springs for some time now and have no complains. Very affordable and good quality, but I need more of a low stance so I might upgrade to coilovers. Fo' a lowrider effect.....

 

i was at an autocross last week, and was talking to a guy with eibach's and KYB's. he was saying his rear kyb's only lasted like 3 months. best bet would be koni adjustables.. couple hundred more, but well worth it.. plus if you blow a koni, you can get it revalved however you want for about 75 bucks, whereas with kyb's or other non-adjustables your out to by a new one

 

Well if you AutoX then eventually things will break or blow... if Gunline's going for the 2" drop just for daily street use, Then the "extra hundred" for Koni's would be better put to use for a CAI or some strut bars or even wires/plugs. On the street the AGX's will hold up, no worries. I have a friend on AGX's and he's had no problems for the past year and a half (not a 240, but still). Just make sure you set them a little soft to absorb those bumpy public roads

 

again again again...

when it comes to buying parts it all boils down to how hardcore you are going to be driving... for daily driven with occasional beating just go with some agx's and some springs... i prefer RSR springs after riding in them and beating on them once in a while, they are awesome...

so like i said, all depends how far you are going

 

that's odd. Koni told me it was better to just buy a new cartridge rather than have mine rebuilt.

anyways, I'm using AGX's in the rear right now because I like playing with my adjustability, and Koni rears need to be taken off the car to adjust. the AGX's hold up to Eibach sportlines fine. Next season we'll see how they fare with 300lb/in springs on them.

 

Those 300 pounders... Eibach also?
