How long have the springs been on? You should let them settle for a couple weeks. It might get a little lower after the springs settle.

tbh i put them on 2 days ago. now I've realised that the front left shock has sprung a massive leak since fitting the springs as there was lots of oil stains all over the shock and wishbone.

Nice conversion! ( what I can see). Eibachs dont drop that much. AWD? H&Rs may give you the look you're looking for.

Cut them... Jk. H and R give an extra 1/2 inch I believe. I loved the ride and look of my H and R with 19. If I can find a pic I'll post one. Pair them with f sport shocks u can't go wrong.

thanks, and its just a RWD.

I was thinking to cut them but I've never done this, I had coilovers on but over here in the uk we have speed humps everywhere in London so I was damaging my front bumper and my custom exhaust mid pipes daily!!!

question if I cut them will it make my car bouncy, I was thinking to cut them a single coil up front he bottom if that makes sense? that should give an extra inch drop.

According to Suspension Engineering DON"T EVER CUT YOUR SPRING or else you'll get f u c k !

I've been reading up and most places says not to cut them, s leaning towards getting a set of new ones, but I'm super annoyed as i finally get my 19s and i hatttte how high the car is sitting. it actually looks higher than standard.

Eibach springs are for daily driven and a very little drop, H&R has a mild drop it looks better than Eibach, but if you want more drop you should have gone with Coilovers. Coil allows you to raise or drop with your desired height it also gives you better handling that you can feel it.

Trust me there are 1000 of car guys who lowered their car with springs and replaced them with Coilovers after, you can ask Engineer, BC coilovers costs around 600$ pound and 900$ usd 1100 Canadien $ 1300 Aussie. you spend money and do the job right at once, don't waste your money and time. i've met ton of lowering springs guy like you.

Unless you just wanna kill the Gap between your tires and fender otherwise Coil bro.

He just came from BC coils and didnt like the ride with them. Ditch the eibachs and go with the H&R. Youll be glad you did. Plenty of pictures on the internet. Take a gander there and that will help your decision making.

RandyIS250

Totally Agreed ! and the BC was just for example, there many brand like TEIN S Megan etc. My choice also H&R.
