Question Help, Any springs besides Eibach that lower 1" only

I was considering Tein S Techs but realized that .7 front and .6 rear was not enough of a drop for me.
The price was right though at only $150.
Eibachs lower 1" and that is perfect but they are 250$

Does anyone know if there are any other brands of springs Besides Eibach that lower 1" exactly (for a good price)?

I dont want top go more than 1" because I believe tire wear and other problems will come into play.


Thanks everyone!

You can get B&G springs for about the same price as the Tein S Techs and they also lower the car 1" all around.

Tein has similar drop in the front as Eibach.. even though they claim 0.7in vs 1in.

But the back Eibach is lower, visually. Get the Tein, so you don' t have to buy camber kit for the rear..

check out my Z in my pic, it has B&G springs with exactly 1" drop all 4 corners. BTW, Eibachs have 1.2" drop in rear and .8" drop in front.

Actually, I think that's incorrect. When Eibach first came out with the springs, they were .8/1.2, but now, I see they advertised everywhere is a 1 inch drop all around.

Also, how do you like the B&G springs? Are the linear? What lb spring is it?

Trust me get the eibach, I just finished putting a set on my base 30 min. ago, they are the best I have used them for 14 years, german tuners make have the best steel. better yet if you want to cut a round they can take it, and lower your ride about another 1/2 inch, remember when you cut , cut from the top not with a torch but with a carbide blade. let me know if you have anymore questions?

Wouldn't what void the "lifetime" warranty?

Yes, please don't ever cut your springs. No matter how careful you are, the springs will eventually end up sagging, and bouncing. I did this to my old Honda and it was a joke.
