    from reviews ive heard im leaning toward eibachs but im afraid the drop will be too much i think lowerin it will bring the top of my rims and tires in a lil and then ill roll the fenders but i have a small amount of room to play with....i dont wanna buy 250$ eibachs and have to sell them because im rubbing..

    how low do you want to go and how harsh of a ride do you want?

    here are the springs you can get:

    vogtland - 1" drop, cushy ride (these are GMPP springs)

    SSC - 1.2-1.5" drop, solid ride (these ride rougher than my eibachs, seriously)

    eibach/B&G - 1.5-2" drop, solid yet comfy ride for how low the car is

    intrax - 3" drop, slammed, probably rides like a truck with less give


    i REALLY dont think whatever springs you put on it that youre going to worry about the tires hitting the fenders. roll them, it does a lot of good.

    that's funny when zzp first selling them everybody buying them like hot cakes. as a matter of fact zzp stop selling them for awhile and since many people wanting them zzp started selling them again. it's just a matter of opinion rather you like it or not. i like the ssc cause they don't drop a whole lot like most lowering springs and the ride is not harsh either.

    Ill be replacing my ssc's II's with B&G's. The lowering you get with ssc's isn't worth the discomfort. Id rather be lower with the same or maybe better ride as the ssc's.

    good luck getting vogtland cause they are on back order and who know how long it will take. that was my original springs to get at first. vogtland will lower the car about the same ssc anyway.

    no clue, but i think vinnie's spacers are something in the area of 3/8"? i have to run shorter dogbones because my exhaust is too close to the bottom of the car as it is.
