Then buy them and do a review. You would be the first to get those...

I really want to switch from my eibachs since the front sits a little higher than the back. I'm assuming since they are adjustable, I should be able to level it out fairly well.

It'd be worth exploring if the seller listed spring free length, diameter, and spring rates.
There's no guarantee that your car won't ride like a dump truck if you install these.
You get what you pay for, and I'd be willing to wager that I put more development time into making my scrambled eggs this morning than were put into those sleeved spring kits.

Yeah they are pretty cheap. I bet if you lowered them all the way you would feel a 3mm rock in the road. What kind of setup are you running mfuller? |

My suspension setup is fairly simple -
KYB AGX struts with H&R springs, Speedbuilt oversize anti-roll bars, strut tower braces, BMR adjustable tubular rear lateral links, GM aluminum front lower control arms with poly bushings.
It's firm but very tolerable for a street car.
Yes, I've tried the coilover thing before, and even with relatively soft springs, my car rode so stiffly I hated driving it. And that was when I was 6 years younger than I am now. |

Are the BMR adjustable tubular rear lateral bars another one of your custom orders or are they readily available for anyone? That's one area I have yet to address but always just thought the grand prix lateral bars were our only options ...

I just used the Grand Prix ones and sleeved them to work with our smaller subframe bolts. |

bdyman had coilovers a long time ago. He didn't like the ride and it didn't even look comfortable to ride in.
Just a thought. Us older guys probably wouldn't like them

I'm starting to lean towards not buying them now. Pot holes are fairly bad in Ottawa and don't want to risk damaging anything plus having a terrible ride quality.

Brandon, you would be better off finding a set of h&r springs... they are a more aggressive drop on the front than the rear if I remember right... should balance you out with the weight of the system...

This may be a dumb question but, could I use eibachs on the back and H&R on the front without issues?

I wouldn't recommend it.
Very different spring rates between the two.
A set of lowering springs is designed to work together, so don't go mix-and-matching.
Race cars and teams that know a lot more than us are different. |
