I found this set of lowering springs on ebay for $49 shipped!!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/360444189496...#ht_4331wt_952

1.8 inch drop is advertised. I'm wanting to know if I will need to get a camber kit to compensate for the lowering or not?

Never heard of them.. sounds like an ebay brand.. hopefully they'll do you fine like any other spring... camber kits help reduce the wear of your tires if you're too low so it might be necessary.

Edit: now that you mention it, $49 is way too cheap for a good quality set of springs. Seeing how they're also not a brand that is recognized on here, I wouldn't trust it.. Most likely chinese knock-off springs that'll have issues down the road. You're better off buying a brand like eibach or H&R... Cheap springs may end up costing you more in the long run..

Also it isn't reccommended to lower on stock struts as they'll give out earlier than some of the aftermarket struts. KYB AGX are currently out of production, but are the best solution out there and they're also more expensive. I know Paul has the Monroe sensa-trac struts on eibach springs and he loves them. So if you lower don't forget to consider struts as well.

Im running on SpringTech, from what I've read they are the same as Canuck motorsports springs. Imo, its a fairly harsh ride, and the back sits alittle lower than the front. I got around a 2.25 drop from them. If your worried about them failing, I got them used, and have since put on 60k on them.

If I recall, Springtech are re branded Canuckmotorsports springs. I have Canucks are somewhat harsh, but I enjoy it. I dont get any complaints on the harshness either. My GF approves of them lol

im wundering why so cheap? were they used?

fisdad · 03-27-2012, 03:28 PM

The auction said they were new but he was selling cheap as a moving sale. I guess the company is moving to a new location? Although he may have typo the price on the listIng. But for that price you see why I couldn't pass em up. All reviews I found were all good.

well the first thing that popped into my head was they must be springs for the older GAs. but i did see they were listed for our year of cars.

Yeah I kept looking at the auction over and over to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. I guess we will see when they get here if they are the right ones.
