Im gonna be lowering a 3.0 cl 1997 soon..

But I dont wanna lower is that much maybe 1.5 at the most..
Everyone has been saying the Eibach kit drops it more that it says.. Cuz it says 1.5 drop.. when its really closer to a 2 in drop..

Anyonw got suggestions..


I wanna do this right.. And I hear that if its lower than 1.5 I will ned camber kits.. And I dont wanna spend all that..

I dont wanna mess up my alignment.. I wanna do it right

 

If you go with the Eibach and stock shocks you'll get 1.5" drop, if you go with the aftermarket you'll get addictional ~.5" drop

 

now wonder why this car shop was like damn this drop is alot lower then 1.7" i got the tokicos my drop is more like 2.5"!

 

I have the H&R sport springs that I like a lot. Here are some pics, click on the 5 zigen folder.

Yea.. Ok
Isnt it bad to use the eibach kit with my Stock Shocks?


Also Woodsdaddy.. Those pics with the 5 ZiGENS... Nice lookking ride

 

The stock struts (shocks) will work with the Pro-Kit. However they will blow out much quicker than with OEM springs.

Save yourself time/money and replace the struts (shocks) at the same time you put in the Eibach springs.

I have the Pro-Kit springs and my drop is just about 1.5" (Eibach quotes 1.4" drop).

 

if you stay away from Tokicos or don't put Koni Yellows on a low perch, you should stay close to 1.5" with the Eibach pro-kit. Just get the pro-kit (and like dustbuster said, replace the struts at the same time)

 

Tockico blue's drop it a little bit more,.25"-.5", and are non adjustable. I have heard from many people on here that they ride hard. The Koni yellows are prob. the best shock/strut for our car, but you pay for them. I have KYB's and i believe that for the money, they are the best shocks you can buy. Adjustable, with the turn of a knob and screw. HOWEVER, i wish i spent extra and got the koni yellows, which are even more adjustable, and have perch settings which allow you to drop a little more. VXCL has yellows, and his drop can go from 1.5" to almost 2" by adjustments. Thats nice, because the prokit looks kinda high in the front, and you can correct it with perch setttings.

 

H&R sports give you an even looking drop 1.75 f and 1.5r

 

get some groundcontrols and lower it to your likin'.

 

so what is the actual drop on the front and back WOODSDADDY

 

the eibach doesn't go 1/2 an inch more......I used the sportline kit on my 2.2CL and it dropped it 2 1/4 just like it said it was supposed to.....some people just have shittier suspension to start with......and others just talk out of their ass.......go for the 1.5, I doubt you'll be dissappointed.....it won't be too low......

 

This is my car with prokits and koni yellows on the NORMAL PERCH it is dropped bout 2". On the lower perch my wheels were tucked into the wheel wells and my camber was like this /---\. i would say it was almost 2.5" drop. even now my camber is slighty /-----\. 3000 miles and no signifigant abnormal wear

 

I believe nandowong is right 1.75 front and 1.5 rear.
