Hey guys... all you guys that wanna know about springs.

Carparts.com accidentally sent me both the H&R and the Eibach Pro-Kit for the Max. I tried both out and liked the Eibach better. Thanks for lettin me try em out first Carparts.com!

The H&R were 236$- total (California shipping/8.25 tax...) so maybe cheaper for you.

The Eibach were 206$ total.

Bout $100 install. 2-3 hours

So the Eibach look awesome and feel great. They lower the body roll a lot. I took it to the dealership today to make sure the allignment was ok and all the mechanics came up to me and said it looked awesome.

So What is next? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Re: SPRINGS

Hey went to Balistek Motorsports here in Santa Barbara.

I already had the springs, so it was just labor.

For any techs out there...use a 1/4 air rachet or 3/8 mini flex head rachet.

Did you installed your Eibach spring with the original shock or did you replace everything ?

I am anxious to know since I want to switch soon, but I have 17" wheel, will it scrub ?

Dude, I have the 17" also and it doesnt scrub at all... the car handles much better around turns.

I kept stock shocks.
