Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post

First post here

I like to lower my '05 coupe about 1.5" all around, but I want to be sure I'm getting the right springs (I don't plan on upgrading to 17's)

Should I get the Eibach Sportline or Pro-kit springs, or Tein S-Techs?

Here's a pic, everything stock.


I appreciate the help

I think you've swayed me to spend a little bit more to get bronze rims on silver.

The car looks great, great job man, everything just flows together, what kind of front/back lip and side skirts are those, I think they would look great on my car also

Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post

Shift-E Yeah it's Erik lol I haven't been on here in a while, but I was attempting to look up something specific on EM2's suspension (specifically coilovers and the threaded shaft making contact with the cv boot) Still haven't found anything.

Thanks for the comments guys, I had the hood trunk and roof CF vinyl wrapped just because I thought it was more practical than actually doing CF (I had a Seibon hood, but didn't like how fragile it was, and I had my roof wrapped shortly after the hood got put on, and I didn't like the flow of a clear coated hood, and a flat CF roof.) So I sold the hood and got 90% of my money back that I had paid for it, seeing as it was less than a month old. So I got the hood and trunk wrapped. (plus it protects the paint, and can be replaced if need be)

The above picture was taken in mid spring, so I guess not all the leaves were on the trees.

Front and rear lips are type r, and the side skirts are type a (don't ask what type A's are, I just wanted something subtle and not to flashy)

Lol Erik, I should have known since we talked about your CF wrap on OHC before

Question. Could you clear coat wrap to make it look more glossy? Or would that not work?

Welcome to the site, your ep3 looks great.

The bronze slipstreams go with the car really well.

Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post

Hey guys. I'm brand new here so please me easy on me

Right now, my car is sitting on Tanabe NF210's. I love them because they feel like like stock springs and they sit 1.5in all around. Only problem, they sag in the rear. Has anyone tried Tanabe's? Im waiting on some Neuspeed sport springs. From what i've seen and read, they drop 1.75 in the front and 1.5 in the rear.

annnnd im rolling on 215 45 r17

Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post

Welcome to the site

Are you on stock or aftermarket shocks, and do you have a camber kit?

Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post

stock shocks and no camber kit. I was thinking of getting a pair for only the rear since the front has no camber at all. Would it push the ride height up a little?
