I just bought Eibach "Sportline" lowering springs with KYB struts in all 4 corners. But it's not as low as I want it. What can I do or what could I have done to slam it even more?

Take off the shock and springs then drive accordingly.

Researched before you bought them.

I did and when I was gonna buy them it said 2.2 front and 2.1 back or the other way around. But I want lower and im not trying to cut my springs like everybody else does around here, looking like they r driving in a popcorn machine. I want to slam it maybe 2 more inches

Then you're going to have to start over. There's no way you're going to be able be drop your car 4"and not blow those shocks.

LOL. People are F*cking with you. Coilovers are what your looking for. They cost more then springs, but are 100x better. There are many different types of coilovers and each have different specs. Some go low. Others go hella low. Also they have different spring rates and other s*** that affect how comforitable the ride will be. Do some searching on different brands. I paid $900 for my first pair. This is super cheap and they are super crap but my car is low, just s***ty quailty. I plan to go with Stance in the future. They go super low and have a higher quilty ride. Stance are sold in Chicago. Check Touge Factory.

Should of just broke out a tape measure and checked out how tall a 2 inch drop is. But if you want to be low, you need something else.

Ok theres a way to lower your car more without buying or changing everything out. pay attention

1. But about 2000-6000lbs in your trunk.2. Put a cheavy big block under your hood.3. Take a step back and look at your new slamed car.
