Hi,

I have SPRINT springs on my hatch for some time now, Im buying new shocks and would like to go to a different springs that will lower my car more. The SPRINT only lower about 1.5 inches and the rear stays up kind of a "dragster look"....any other spring that will give me a lower and even stance???Im not interested on coilovers,etc. because of the extra expenses and dont need the car lower than 2 inches(is a daily driver) to keep my alignment on track......

thanks:)

I have sportlines on my car and its pretty low.I think Eibach says "2.2f "2.5r as far as lowering distance.Mine might be for sale for the right price..Also my alignment print out says that i am just within factory specs after being adjusted...

anything over a 1.5" drop should get the alignement checked and a camber kit installed if necessary..-chet

Ok We were slow at work today so i put my car on the alignment rack and this is what it read

front: left front right

nominal -.75 ,min -1.50,max 0.00 actual -1.2 actual -1.2

rear rear

nominal -1.10,min -1.60,max -.60actual -2.1 actual -2.0

..of course i left some parts off but basically the front is within specs.The rear is not.Everything else is ok.All in all my tires do wear fairly evenly
