Lowering Springs on the 6th Gen Comparison
 

OK so let me know if I should take this down or move but I wanted to start a thread where everyone can post pics and describe their expiriences with the lowering springs they chose. Its a big debate that most of us have, which brand to go with? how will it ride? So lets see if this becomes helpful!

So please post what brand you got?
How much it lowered your car?
How it rides?
What shocks your using?
Any Problems?
And Pics!!!!:D

:mrgone: let the comments start ( btw there are about a trillion threads of pics and ppl comments on almost all springs for the ride)

ditto but lets make it short. progress with the kyb struts and shocks are the cheapest route with a drop of a little short of 2" in the front with 1.75" in the back ( i know the numbers arent exact to the teeth but very close ) ride is so so depending on the rubber and the rim size. i have 22's with that setup and its decent but i have a few more supension componets. my supension is about 30% stock and 70% aftermarket

plus 1 on being from ct. i do the led swap and could help out with anything you want done to the car. i know this car all to well and have knuckle scars to prove it.lol

right now my car is factory,whats lowering springs should i get?
and also i need some shocks,which should i get.
im looking for something good and not to expensive

please read

rear drop is a little off. i think you meant 0.75"
Best bang for the buck.

I haven't had any problems yet with the lowering springs. Everything is still tight and once the springs settled, it rides even better I think.

I'm convinced! I'm goin wit eibachs!!! Gonna wait til my warranty, and this snow!, ends and I'll throw them on for April. Should get the 07-08 wing by the weekend, cant wait!

I did eibachs and kyb gr-2's up front waiting for the rear shocks to putthe springs as well but for the most part I love the way the car rides and handles up front big difference.

Originally I had H&R (1.4 Front , 1.3 rear) with OEM shocks, I just got a set of Eibachs and replaced the Fronts only leaving the H&R's on the back so now I am sitting ~2.0 Front and the ~1.4 Rear. Looks much better than before, Ride quailty is the same but only had them on since Monday so time will tell.

i have a question though, im going to lower just the front 2" does anyone thing thats a bad idea, because i thought it would first even out the car and give it a good stance

reviving an old thread..
I installed only the front coils Teins with KYB struts, and it didn't lower the car that much :) I looks better non the less

Can you post pictures?

This is the one I got, I really didn't measure the drop but it doesn't look to be much, still looks better than it was

Updated the image size

Looks alright to me....or may be it's hard to jurge from small picture. You should wait few weeks for springs to settle down. Also you should install both front and rear springs at the same time.

I'm afraid to put the back ones cause then it would look lower in the back than in the front and I don't want that

Unless you're doing something wrong, tein springs shouldn't give you uneven drop if installing them on all corners. They drop pretty even when installed correctly which you did in your case. However one thing I can add is may be you've got counterfeit tein springs? There are bot load of counterfeit tein springs floating around. I heard stories that those counterfeit tein springs does not drop correctly and later they sags and get rusted. Where did you buy your tein springs from? Is that possible for you to take a picture of any/all markings on the springs itself including tein decale?

Just because the fender gap looks even does not mean that the car sits level.

The gap in the rear will be less than the front.

Also, that does not look dropped in the front at all. Maybe it will settle.

I just got a 2008 Max SL with 38k miles on it. What Can I do to it without Voiding out the factory warranty?

I am going wit the kyb and h&r springs. Just a small drop

Tein should give you a small drop but not H&R.
