Default Spring Dimlemma.

Alright, I have Eibach springs and I am worried that they might be a bit to low for me, esspecially since I have been told that they may settle down below one inch.

So, other then Tein, or B&G, what is there that will not go below an inch at all?

It is my feeling that the car should be lowered a little more in the rear then the front, so I am not sure about the Teins because they drop the front .7 and the front .6.

Is there anything that gives an equal drop, or a little bit more of a drop to the rear that is about .75 of a drop?

I do not think I can afford the Nismo S tune right now so that is out of the question. Just some springs.

If I do find an alternative spring, I would be willing to sell mine for $ 200 for local pick up only. I paid 220 shipped and is one of the best prices I have seen. Springs are brand new and in the box. I wil need to find another spring, make my decision first before selling.

Or if any of you want to chime in, should I keep my Eibachs? Why?

BTW my main concern is that the wheel will be tucked in to far to the fender, I hate that look..

RS-R down
RS-R Ti2000

both are very tough to get. i think the 2000s are more of a sublte drop than the downs.

ti = .6 front / .3 rear
down = .6 all around

hope that helps.

i put the eibachs on mine the other day and i love them.. its low enough so that you can tell but not low enough to drag pot holes or driveways. I dont have a body kit so that may be why... but i love the springs. Even when it settles down a little it will be fine. yes i have to be more careful parking and things like that but it comes with the territory. good luck with whatever choice you make

Where did you get this information? I was informed that the Ti springs have the same specs all around as the down springs.

Does anyone have any offset type pictures, showing how far the wheels is in the fender lowered 1 inch or more? They would have to be a 9.5 + 22 in the rear for me to relate to.

May be a far fetched request, but it is worth a shot.

Hotchkis lowers the rear .75" and the front .5", seems like your perfect answer

Actually that does sound pretty good.

I was thinking the RSR down would be great but I'll look into those too.

How are the quality one them? Will they sag lower? Pretty stiff?
