Ready to Lower - Need Advice

[all G'd up]

Ok I got my sway bars in... Definitely improved, now I'm ready to lower her... Need suggestions on which springs to get? Looking for 1-1.5'' drop that will improve handling and be stiffer, but still drivable everyday... Also is there anything else I should get besides springs & struts/shocks when lowering...

How many miles on the stock suspension? You might be able to get away with just springs for now.

[all G'd up]

23k miles... You think the stock struts will hold up with lowering springs...

Tein S-techs ftw!

did u get new struts when you put the springs on. If so, what kind...?

[RED_DET]

The first suspension I put on was just oem Z springs on my sport suspension shocks. Then I went with complete 06 z suspension and now I have a complete nismo s tune suspension. Is your car a sport model? You should be able to get away with just springs for now if you go with something comparable to stock spring rate. H techs are probably your best bet.

idk, is there a sport option for an 04 6MT... I heard the H techs are softer than stock... I'm really looking to make it stiffer. Stock is too soft for me. I was thinking the Eibach pro springs... I can get a good deal on them. What about camber arms? I hear they will improve handling...

What about camber arms? I hear they will improve handling...

Adjustable ones will help with alignment. So You don't rape your tires.

I GOT A FEW SUSPENSION MODS ALREADY DONE TO MY COUPE AND HONESTLY I LOVE WHAT I DID. EIBACH SWAYS AND SPORTLINE SPRINGS, STILLEN FRONT AND REAT STRUTS, KINETIX FRONT CAMBER AND REAR CAMBER/TOE PACKAGE. I STILL HAVE FACTORY SHOCKS BUT IM ABOUT TO SWITCH THEM OUT FOR EITHER TOKICO ADJUSTABLE SHOCKS OR A COILOVER KIT FROM TEIN OR TANABE BECAUSE EACH ONE HAS A INCABIN DAMPENING CONTROLLER. ALSO "GTSPEC" HAS A FEW LITTLE PEICES THAT ARE GREAT THAT I WAS ALSO LOOKING AT. SOME SMALLER TIE RODS THAT BRING TOGETHER THE LOWER PORTIONS OF THE CAR FOR MORE "TUNED" RIDE. THEY ALSO HAVE A LARGE 4PT MOUNTING BRACE THAT GOES UDNER THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE THAT TIES TOGETHER THE SIDE FRAMES. I PERSONALLY THINK THAT IS A LITTLE BIT EXCESSIVE UNLESS YOU PLAN ON SEEING TRACK TIME. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PROJECT.

LONG LIVE THE G

How do you like the sportline springs...? Did you get the G or 350 springs... I was thinking of getting the eibach pro kit with the tokico d-spec shocks... the sportline seems it may be too low... Do you have camber arms?

[hernandez5749]

I got the sportline springs from eibach and i love them. Ya, they are definitely lower but i felt a stiffer ride which was what i was looking for also. Ya, i also have a camber setup. Upfront i put kinetix cambers and in the rear I got kinetix rear package which includes camber/toe. I also have eibach sways and stillen front and rear strut. "The G grips hard now whenever I get off or on the expressway on those curved ramps". Drifting is soo smooth. I want to get tokico d-spec shocks also so I have to see if they will fit with sportline springs cause im not sure. Or a coilover kit...

Sounds nice! Any pics? I'm thinkin about the eibach pro kit b/c I'm afraid the sportlines will be too low for daily driving plus I want to put a lip on the front... Did you do the install yourself?

[hernandez5749]

I installed the sways, strut bars, torque damper. I pulled a mechanic aside and worked a deal to install the rest. Honestly I had never tried installing springs before and I didn't want to take the chance or a chance on my mastercylinder brace. The cambers I had the guy do aswell and set them for me. Personally I like the lower stance of the sportline springs and I see that I still have room for a lip if I choose to go that route. Even with my springs I sure I can fit some really nice 20x10's with rolling the fenders. I definitely need to get some pics though. Have a good one.
