I sold the springs a while back.



Are you installing the coilovers yourself?

I'm thinking of doing that. But might take it to a shop.
Looks pretty much a straight swap. See if it's arrives before Xmas and see how much time I have during Xmas

and no you cant change the height on the fly, has to be parked, then you turn that washer looking ring thing on the video.

oh i see. is it hard to turn? i imagine ud need a bit of force to compress the springs to make them lower?

anyway, sounds like coils are def better then

i might still get springs as a temporary solution, depending on how my tony is charging for his, untili get more money next year
would be a good birthday present

btw youngster, do you have any height issues in secure parking lots and driveways? esp the ramps and the little barriers/kerbs they put at the end of each parking space? i have a habit of parking my nose over the kerb and with the kit ill be so paranoid....
there are a few places i drive to that i always have issues with slight scrape even on stock springs. my gf advised against lowering for this reason (i bet someones gunna suggest airrunners next lol)

Just got confirmation from fedex. Arriving on the 30th:(

pm sent furythree

so guys, second hand eibachs for 250 are ok? or new teins for 300?

that would be pretty cool, i just set mine to the fuel consumption meter, the one where it shows how many litres of petrol you are using per 100 kilometers.

everytime you step on the gas, it digitally goes up so it kind of looks like an electronic rps meter haha! looks awesome at night

i think he lives in a place where i can just drive to pick up

but 4000kms is okay for second hand springs? its only $50 more for teins? which one has more drop? defconskylude just said his teins give him a 1.5" drop (the largest amounts ive seen/heard of so far for any springs, but consistent with the fact that teins lower more), i dont wanna get eibachs simply because they are cheaper, if they offer no benefit/advantage over teins. And everyone seems to be using teins as well...argh >< why is it so hard to make a choice

hey fury i got H&R's on 20's and Ive got about 1.5" drop front and back even though the manual said 1.3 front 1.2 back i guess its different depending on your car.

Either way mate, youll be happy with either.

Fury: I got Eibach myself on 19", the site says 1.6" drop in front and 1.4" in rear. I chose it cos Eibach is meant to have a softer ride.
