Im currently running on cut springs and its not cutting it anymore. I was looking to buy the eibach sportline lowering springs that give about a 2in drop. But im not sure if i should run them on my stock shocks or if i should get sum aftermarket ones.

Any suggestions????

u should hit urself for putting cut springs on ur 240 in the first place. and if u bought it like that, hit urself for not fixing it right away.

but to answer ur question, like they say above, ur gonna need to be a little more specific about what u will be doing with your car.

Other than cut springs being unsafe to drive on, what do you mean they aren't cutting it anymore? Is your car bouncing all over the place?

Its not worth spending more than $1000 on coil overs unless you know how to tune suspension. Most people just buy whatever gives them the drop they are looking for and assume the sporty driving feel it gives them means they have better traction (I laugh, but most people don't do autocross or do anything serious anyway, so it doesn't matter)
