Ok, again I have the Kato kit and 20" rims. Most likely going with the eibachs unless i can go a little lower. When you order springs and the struts, doest everything you need for installation come along with the package or do you need anything else???


just go with the springs....

alright I'll get a pic for you guys soon. I had one in the showcase forum but it was a while ago and it's without the cleared corners. One of these days if the weather is nice I'll get a variety of pics so everybody can see my ride

I went with the Eibach's 'cause mine's a daily driver. The drop wound up just over 1.5". They give a firmer ride than stock without jarring your teeth. If I didn't put 100 miles a day on it, I probably would've gone with something more aggressive, but everything is a trade off.

I was searching for lowering springs on ebay and seen springs made my Canuck Motorsports (CM), anybody know or hear anything about these, they are a great price and offer a 1.6 drop. I'm going to by some within the next couple of days, if not these going with the INTRAX springs because they give a decent drop.

Don't forget wd40, and a cheater bar (home depot). And I don't know how you would get the strut plate off without an impact gun. Just letting you know. Those were the painful ordeals I had to get over.

To get the 2 bolts off that connect the lower part of the strut to the car. Our impact gun ($30 one) didnt have the reverse torque to take off the nuts (21mm from what I remember), so I had to use a cheater bar with the socket wrench. If you need more details on the bar let me know, but it was just a 3 ft steel bar about 1" in diameter.

I want to know about these too. They're red, and will match my IDI cover and brakes (when I do the brakes).

BTW: at least this thread is less than 7 years old.
