Want to lower your car? Look in here!!

i want the sportline but it says it wont fit my car

eibach only makes one set of springs for the GP, so they're the pro kit.

So I was trolling through this thread tonight, went through every page but didnt see a single write up/how to for actually installing the new struts and springs.

I think if someone were to put in a write up on the first page it could in some cases help people that are new to doing this sort of job on the car.

Just a thought.

Any what?

You know it's all compatible right ?

The new Eibach springs say they're only a 1" drop. Do you still need to get the spacers? Or would just getting the new KYB struts and replacing all the rubber be enough? A lot of the people I've seen having to go crazy with mods are doing 1.5" or more drops. Is a 1" ok, or is it even worth it @ that point?

You also get stiffer spring rates

97 monte cut springs 5" drop 28k HARD miles same shocks cvs and motor mounts no issues no regrets :)

You did not get 5 inches of drop. There's barley 5 inches of travel in a standard w-body setup. And for you to say no issues yea OK. Your struts are blown and riding on spring and there's probably no bump stop

So i guess i cant read a tape measure then huh

Nah not doubting those skills. Got any pics of this setup

Theres some old pics on w-body.com

He has SOME strut travel left...not much.

Stock struts have 7.25" of strut travel - 1" for bump stops - 5" = 1.25" of strut travel left.

1.25" of strut travel on stock struts with soft springs, you have to be hitting some bump stops.

why dont you just post one on here. not everyone is on wbody

Yeah, lol.

I want to see pics of this Monte.

Cause when it comes to wrenching and fabrication im a mad scientist but when it comes to computers im a drunk caveman with a club ;) my friends load them for me but i havnt seen them n a while
