thats my EM1...


Can anyone gimme advice?? why the other might be better than the other??
cuz the eibach one is about $200 more expensive.. but i hear its better...
i just want to lower it and make it look decent.. coilovers definitely furthur down the track, but just for now.

get eibach. the king springs will sag over time but the eibach won't.

my kings lows have been fine for 2 years/40,000+km...
the drop is around 1.5". eibach drops around 1.3" i think.

Might as well save up for coilovers. Youll end up spending less with better results.

they would be around the same you won't really notice it. i changed from king super low springs to eibach sportline and couldnt really notice any difference.

theres pro kit and then theres sportline which is lower, however i don't know how much the drop is for each one.

Depends what you want I guess. If you just want the looks, get KINGS. Eibach is more stiffer.
As d15z1SUX said -they do sag over times and then kills your shocks . . .

If you want well price coils that are very decent but not exactly 'racing' coilovers then maybe consider these from Race Nation:

compress your stock springs, i did mine and its good cause u can set the car to whatever height and the handling is the same as new springs

^ still have the same mushy spring rate of the stock springs

if you're doing it for looks then that's fine
if it's gonna be 6-8 months just save up and get what you want to begin with, it's not a long time
