I was browsing the cardomain and came across this a couple of months ago and can't get over how even the lowered stance is. It's damn near perfect drop makes me want to get espelirs up front and eibach it the back. What do you guys think of it. Would it be a good idea to do mixed springs? Wonder what kind of shocks he's using? Heres the link: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/562109

 

it wont be a problem mixing springs as long as the front two are the same set and the back two are a different set. for shocks it depends on what you want from them. street car? track car? little bit of both? from there you can gauge your needs and compare it to characteristics of different shocks. i will have to say the combo looks great on the car, but buying two sets of springs just for .25" of extra drop in the back doesnt seem worth it to me. also remember your car may not sit the same even if you have the same parts.

 

well i see where you comment on how even the drop is , i am not sure if you mean front to back because from drivers side to passenger side a common problem alot of people have including myself is how uneven the drop actually is. I am running the probably most common espelir setup which is with the tokico blues and the drivers side of my car is like .45 inches lower than the passenger side and this may not seem like alot but it really is especially in fitting rims/tires with rubbing issues, and clearing speedbumps driveways etc. I know for myself I am keeping my espelirs because i love the drop but I am going bac to the tein shocks because they should be stiffer then the tokicos.

 

yeah i guess it wont make sense to buy a set of espelir amd a set of eibachs and have 4 springs left over just to get a more even look. They dont sell the front and rear springs seperate do they? If not, I'll probably just go with the tein ss. I heard they are pretty smooth on the road for a daily driver. I really want the Tein CS's but can't afford them and even if i could i don't know if i would be willing to pay 1,500+ dollars for them. I was just trying to find the cheapest and most reliable way to drop a SC with a even look and smooth drive like stock....

 

. you will be happy with the ss'. they will perform yet still stay comfortable.
