Hey guys

A few of us on the forum now have the california custom springs... After I got my set I got 4 other sets to sell to others.....

Heres the skinny.. They are roughly 1.5 in drop. I konw they initially said 2 inches, but they dont lower thec ar that much... Truth be told, its only a slight difference over the eibachs..... They also ride the same as the eibachs.. Overall its a very nice setup, i wouldnt worry about the drop because its not much lower, if any, than the eibachs...

Unlike the Z32 springs, these are guarnteed to fit perfect. NO modding needed otherwise.....

You'll receive them NEW IN BOX... As you konw you can no longer get the Q45 eibachs, and these california custom springs have been out of production for about 6 years.. They were sort of "discovered" on a windfall, they were hidden in a warehouse...

I can get probably a handful of sets... If I can get a few people together that want em, let me know.....

The price is $200 shipped... if your interested, post up or send me an emali [email protected]

ALSO, PLEASE DO NOT POST UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE TO ADD, NO ONE CARES IF YOU DONT LIKE MODIFYING YOUR SUSPENSION; PLEASE DONT LET US KNOW ABOUT IT!

I have a set and like them very much! Like wes said they fit just fine and don't leave the Q looking like it's sitting on the ground!

I'm into it, but I gotta admit I'm worried the drop will be too much. Post some pics of yours in a couple of months when they settle in...

Usually happens with aftermarket springs over the first 6-12 months. But some are better than others.

Robert, you've seen the height of my Q and that's with a solid 2" drop. I don't have any problems whatsoever, the only thing is, you can't do the soccer-Mom full speed over speed bumps thing. Speed bump? What's that?? lol...

I say get a set, and Wes' price is outstanding.

Pert,Have you seen my FS thread of the Eibach springs for the Y33? The alignment specs were still within limits when my Y33 was with the Eibach's. The print out is in the thread.

Thanks for the compliment, we both have TEIN S-Tech's, special order from Japan through me. He's still on stock shocks/struts, I have KYB SR Specials, also special order from Japan.
