    I was looking on eBay for lowering springs. I found numerous new brands I have never seen before like DropZone for $85.95 + $19.98 for shipping.

    I also found Lowering Springs sold by ProAutoLuxury for $55.00 + $35.00 shipping.

    Anyone heard of any of these ?

    The HT coilovers are something like $1300 I believe. You can build a set for less than that, there are a few writeups floating around on doing it yourself.

    eibach have two revisions of springs. the first generation had the butt sag problems. the second generation which you will get if you buy them do not have that problem.

    B&G ive seen sit pretty level as much as i can tell.

    Shorter Dog Bones: If someone is going that route, look up Rockauto: Anchor 2899. Those are montana dogbones, which is what everyone is selling as the shorter dogbones. Way cheaper than most sellers.

    i apolagize if this has already been asked in here. bu im not reading through all 6 pages to find nothing

    about anti pogo washers and motor mount spacers, are these a take it as it comes type deal when lowering, or are they more of a necessity?

    to put it more frankly, i plan in lowering ( "medium drop" if it matters). should i buy them and install them with the springs or should i just wait and decide if i need them after i drive around a bit?

    thanks in advance guys

    well you should put the spacers at the same time or you will have major vibration coming from the axels

    silva, from my understanding, the pogo washers are more of the taste preference, they stop the car from bouncing after hitting bumps. the motor and trans mount spacers are what's gonna keep you from toasting axles and other drivetrain components, more of a necessity. im sure nick will clarify when he finds this

    with the stock washers the struts dont engage for a short distance.

    adding those removes the delay until the struts engage.

    THey're just subframe washers.

    you can get them for teh cheap from yards if the cars are in the air.

    or be lazy.

    alright so ill grab the mount spacers ahead of time and throw them in with the springs/ struts.

    hows the install on the pogo washers? would i have to take off the struts, or is the work secluded to the mounts under the hood? if id have to take off the stuts again ill just throw them in right away. save my lazy ass from another hour or two of work lol.

    ..and also if you guys know where to buy the spacers id appreciate a link
