2GS Lowering Springs
Well this is my first post but reading these forums has helped me and I thought I'd give back.
I am here to tell you that if you haven't replaced your stock springs yet .... you definitely should!
I had a leaky strut so decided that since the mechanics where there they might as well do a girl a
solid and trade my stock springs for new lowering springs. I agreed with posts that too much of gap in front and though comfy ride didn't quite feel right to me. Anyhow...I couldn't find any particular information as to what springs were best so I winged it. I took a chance with Eibach pro kit. Best decision ever!!! Had the struts and mounts replaced with stock replacements so still luxury ride but now with hot new looks and incredible feel. Now wish I had a stick with an emergency brake so I could pull some Fast and Furious moves! Ha! Handling is sick! Night and day difference! Seriously... I feel like I'm driving a racers dream car! I only had the springs replaced in front .... since only the front struts needed to be done and I might just leave it that way. Anyone else out there have this experience yet? Love to hear your stories too! Thanks!

You should've replaced them all at the same time since the chances are if your fronts were gone your rears aren't too far behind.
...and welcome to the forums, but you posted this in the wrong section. lol
