I am looking for a temporary drop before I get my coilovers. I have looked into the Eibach Pro kits, the Tein S-Techs, and the Hotchkiss springs. All I want is about a 1" drop (at the most due to tire clearance) and something that will work well with my stock shocks. Its a 2003 Touring model. Any info would be appreciated.

thanks

 

The hotchkis would the setup I would recommend, though the teins should be fine as well... I had eibachs on my previous car and I am sorry to say I cannot recommend them... I am partial to linear springs now

 

hotchkis

Espelir.

Stiffer than all lowering springs

 

it would help to know what year your car is

 

i have done away with springs , i much rather prefer Tempur-pedic beds.

 

If you read my post, it states that the car is a 2003 Touring model

 

Hotchkis or the S Tech would be your best bet - both will be less than 1 inch drop, but will work well with your stock shocks

 

+1 on the hotchkis,...can't go wrong

 

I Have Eibach Prokit and love them. Sometimes wish it was a lil lower.

 

SEARCH!!!!!!! everyone has different opinion on springs.. please search and get the best one that suits you.

 

I did search, and it brings up about a million different topics. So I decided to make my own with my specific situation

 

For such a mild drop either will do.

 

Same here. Wish the back was set a little lower. Thinking about doing the spring mount mod.

For the OP, I wouldn't worry about shocks right off the bat. But plan to get some. You can't really tell what time frame you'll need. But it won't be soon.

 

I like Tanabe's springs

 

they work better on the later cars than earlier ones though

 

can we get more info on this?

 

04.5 + cars have revised shocks that will deal with the Tanabe springs (GF, since thats all I've got any experience with) better than the pre 04.5 shocks

 

i too have a 03 touring. i ordered the Hotchkis tvs stage 1 suspension kit, so what shocks would be the best with this setup??

 

Believe me, get S•W•I•F•T.
