Did your springs not come with a sheet that instructs you on how much you should cut them?

I believe half and inch is how much, but I'm not sure.

Cut at least one ring off.

Eibach + GR2 = Very harsh ride.

Be ready for it, and make sure you get the alignment reset when your done.

some use the word harsh in place of stiff. If someone cant deal with a ride thats too stiff they call it harsh.

Harsh would have you bouncing all over the place, or the car feeling like its going to fall apart when you go over bumps.

people say the gr2s are too stiff... but mine were never stiff enough... it bottoms out too easilly for me. I hate gritting my teeth every time I come to a large bump hoping it's not gonna hurt. I'm not sure if it was as bad when i got them, but it was never great and I have only had them for less than a year... I wish i had gotten illuminas. Just my words on it... do what you want.

.... bottom out..? no .... way... ur must be bad... they just dont provide movement... specially with lowering springs.. if u live in an area like Houston TX... while i was visiting my cousins i noticed the roads were even.. so if no bumps and holes in ur area.. then its alrite bearable.. but in NYC... forget it... YOU SCREWEED.... im getting illuminas with the tax refund...

You might want to switch to H & R's too. Eibachs are very very stiff.
