Sounds like you're going for a good setup with everything. Add the offset bushings or spacers to the list for going low.

you dont want eibachs if you dont really want to lower your car, you want vogtlands.

ill say it again.

Eibach's go WAY lower than Vogtland's...and even though they offer a pretty far drop...example...about 2" from what I've seen...Vogtland's are lucky to drop your car an 1". Same with the sprintech's I have...

I love my Eibachs, don't think that the ride is all that bad and handles great now.

agreed on their ride quality, but compared to stock they ride rough and some people arent willing to deal with that.

Sadly that's what you have to deal with when you go lower the easy way. I'm sure you can build your own coilovers for a soft ride.

even with coilovers the fact still remains: the lower you go, the harsher the ride. you have to make up for lack of strut travel somehow.

That's true, guess you can only recoup some of the cushy ride.

well i think ill go with the volt when i get my new struts

because i want it to ride smooth and get somewhat near stock wheel gap.

Stock wheel gap is what you DON'T want...yikeserz

You might as well get coilovers mr. Money bags

vogtlands arent a drop. vogtlands is how te car should look stock AT LEAST. i say learn not to be a lil ***** and get a nice drop.

Why pay the price for the new springs if you just want stock ride height?
