stupid question sorry

 

its up to your personal liking of how low you want to go...or what exactly you want to do with your lowerd teg

 

Avoid lowering sleeves at all costs. Mine were a disaster for many reasons.
Eventually went with new shocks and H&R racing lowering springs. It seems
like you always get what you pay for, so spend the money up front and avoid problems in the future. I believe that H&R are a good high performance aftermarket spring. I used them on my BMW and loved them.

The springs were $207.00 shipped.

 

I have eibach pro kit springs and am yet to install them. I've heard installation is a pain in the ass.

 

knowing ur technological expertise.... i'd suggest letting a shop do them... no offense.. it's not necessarily "hard" it's just having the right tools and knowing what your doing

 

Everyone's experience is a different one, but I feel they're easier. The Eibach pro's are shorter than stock so you won't need to compress the spring when installing. The only time you need to compress is when you're taking the stock spring out.

Nontheless, it also depends where you live. I live in NYC and roads here are VERY bad...so I only lowered it 1.3" with the Eibach Pro Kit. I don't want to destroy the bottom of my car...

 

If you need the right parts like I did. Visit your local Autozone and they have everything I needed to remove springs and front ball mounts. The have a borrowers program that allows you to pay a deposit (which is refunded to you if you don;t damage the tools) which in my case was around 60 bucks. The process is not that hard if you take your time and be careful when using the spring compressors to get the oem tops off the oem spring/strut's. The process took me the better part of one day to complete. Good luck and if you need anymore knowledge let me know.

 

Well I have a friend who is gonna help me with my tranny swap. He said he'd install em for 150. He is a reputable mechanic so i'll probably do that.
