I believe the few cars you already see lowered have either prototype springs from say Eibach or another company or they are doing it the old fashioned way - cutting the springs to make them shorter! If you are desparate, find a shop that will cut your springs. Of course the results may be mixed or hit or miss and be prepared to order some extra ones or replacement springs. Good Luck.

Contact/email NYC/NJ area DJ and car tuner www.funkmasterflex.com , maybe they/he can steer you in the right direction or attend one of the Celebrity Car Shows. Good Luck!

Talked to Eibach yesterday, they should have the springs available early August. The ones on the DUB car are Ebach but not the final product (according to the tech I spoke with), he did ot even know what the final drop would be.

You might want to consider spring compressors (sp?) .. I have no experience with them but I have seen some applications that you clamp the spring for one turn and it lowers it a little, ... might be an option to cutting .....
Something like this ...
Update: they call them spring locks ....

Nothing new for you. I thought you had plenty time to prepare since you said you might go with the Eibach's in August.

I think you should cut your springs for right now, and then put the eibachs on when they come out. Eibachs ride real nice. ...my .02
