lowering springs...

I want to do a 1.3 - 1.5 inch drop on my ride... (lx coupe)
do I just buy the springs... and get them installed...

or do I need new struts or anything else?
anyone know a ballpark of how much it will cost too???

Thanks

if you don't go any lower than 1.5 inches, you should be fine with your stock shocks for a good while...... oh yes the price....somwhere around $300...maybe a bit more..... i should learn to read th ENTIRE post maybe!!!...insal. is anywhere from $100-$200...if you live in the gta i can recomend some places....

I recomend Eibach Sportlines, they give you a solid 1.5 inch and make the ride feel sporty and look more aggressive without lookin and feeling cheap, price aprox 325 out the door.

check eBay for maybe a better deal on the type of drop your looking for...Eibach is a good way to go. Looking to buy a set myself!

I've had good luck with Progress sport springs. Not an insanely low drop, but good aggressive look, comfortable ride and good handling. I got mine for $200 installed at Kamikaze Racing in Temecula, CA.

How do the Neuspeed sports effect ride quality overall? Is it a harsher ride? I'm considering lowering 1 to 1.5 and I'm just curious how my *** is going to feel about it down the road.

Eibach Prokits are nice, and there's the warranty and the name to back it up. I got mine for $215.

Bro,
Eibachs are good quality but from what I've seen, the ride sucks. Go Neuspeed man, they give you a little more drop and they will set you back more flow, but the ride is worth it. I'm going with the Race type springs, but they also have the Sport that might be a little closer to the drop you're looking for. Whever man, its your call, I'm just giving you my view!

A car lowered is a car lowered..........its all good bro!

Nuespeeds! many people here have went from eibachs to nuespeed and gold line to nuespeed and 01inca pearl went from sprint to nuespeed! the quality ride is of the near same as stock! But it also depends on the size of tire and wheel! If you get some 35 series tire then your screweid either way! Dakota
