Did anyone ever find out how to lower with springs???

Hey guys, i dont wanna pour 2,000 into an airride setup, i just want to drop the car a little bit, but I know that with just springs, the shocks will go out. I've had good luck with eibach springs on other cars, i was wondering if I could swap the shocks out with certain shocks in order to make them last. i'd REALLY appreciate the help, and pics also!

thanks,

Adam

hmmm maybe ill get 1.5" or 2" springs since you guys arent having shock problems

most people with shock problems are driving C's

They are lucky. The majority of people have there shocks blow out with just springs. You can get aftermarket shocks like eibachs etc.... or go with a less aggressive spring like the hotchkis springs.

Im guessing the 300c owners have heavier cars? so 300s like me are kinda safe from changing to just springs? 69 posts GIGGITY GIGGITY GOO
