There Eibach so you are pretty much guarnteed quality. I find with coil overs the ride is so much harder. I would never do coils unless upgrading the struts at the same time.

ok great, thankyou!


Would the stock dampers be ok while using coilovers? I am real hesitate, I want to go super low.. but don't know what to get. Either sportlines springs, GC's, or FK hightech 60/40mm springs.. not exactly sure yet, just want to see what others say. Thankyou.

Nevermind I found where they have been started.

But I dont consider this a performance mod... I consider low for apperence, not cornering.. So I'm in the right spot.

No, and I wouldnt suggest cutting the FK kit. It works so well with the supplied Strut/shocks.... ;)

BUT you did say this was for appearance so I dont know how they would look. I would imagine pretty tight with a little tuck, but Im rubbing on some higher curbs right now so i could just imagine if you were to cut them even more.

Hmm your right, we almost do look similar.. I would like to go lower,.


Why do you have to have shortened shocks? You are the second person who has said something to me about that.
