anyone running on ONLY springs and no shocks? haha just curious..

personally, you don't really need new shocks/struts after you lower your car. you only need it if the it's blown OR you want to do some racing in tracks and stuff. other than that, you don't necessary need it.

oo... man now im kinda stuck in between s tech and pro kit... but i've heard if i get the pro kit..the front will always tilt up... anyone wanan prove me wrong? >.< also heard.. prokit is more stiffer than s tech... which one to chose?

 

[dynasty]

what you think by tilt up? it's 1.5 all around. i also heard good things about s-tech. same quality but i think they are lower than eibach pro-kits. not sure. i can't really compare since i never rode in a car with s-tech before.

Nah its an even drop all around but the front fender wells are bigger than the rear ones making it look like the front is higher... but it really isnt.

i got these tanabe springs sitting in the corner of my room begging to be put on 1.8F 1.5R but ive been waiting till i can get some KYB shocks but it looks like it might be a while. What do you guys think, should i put em on? i drive like a maniac.

I just got eibach pro-kit 1.5 drop F/R and it seems to be fine on stock shocks. I got 225/40/18 ADR design rims and tires on it. I think you should be fine on stock shocks with the Eibach pro-kit.

I have prokits/stock shocks. Now, i think this setup would last along time with good roads. I have good roads and i never had a problem until i had to frequently drive on one particular road that was awful. Blew my front shock. Bought a cheapo $50 replacement, feels fine. i wouldn't think about this for the long run.

man.. i wouldnt' want the boat look tho... if i get pro kit... when it settles.. im assuming teh front fender will still have a bigger gap?

Yup, it isn't as bad as people say it looks. Like nobody has ever really noticed until i point it out. But my rear is like 1/2 a finger, my front is like 3. I'm convinced mine is worse than most dude to a heavy *** sub box too. But, yeah, it will happen, i don't like it but it doesn't bug me terribly.

I just recently got Eibach pro-kit 1.5 drop all around. My car looks a lot better then it did I have a custom trunk which made the rear low to start. So the rear you can barely fit a finger under thewheel well. The front is a little bigger but I still think it looks good. Since I got a driveway that is pretty steep I dont need to be on the ground. I think the Eibach pro-kit is a good enough drop unless you just need the car to be on the ground and only use it for shows.
