Hi all fellow vibers.I'm wondering about lowering springs. There are a few choice out there but I don't know which one to choose.There are some Eibach springs that have 2 models, 1st 1.2" drop al around2nd 1.8 in front and 2.1 in rearThere is also Skunks that is offering an ajustable drop from 0" to 3".and there's an other one that offers a 1.7" front and 1.6" rear.You also know that we have snow here in Montreal and we have to live with it.Which one would be better for our weather and I would like to keep the original dampers.thank youmike

there are also Tein S type which will lower it 2.25" to 2.50" (Which I have) or the H type which will go less than 2"

If you consider the snow factor, I would suggest the 1.2' all around. That's what I keep my coilover at in the winter and it's fine. If you go at 2' or close, you will plow the snow...

J,ai un drop d'environ 2 POuce en avant et 1.5 en arrière, et je ne ferai pas un autre hiver avec... Je n'ai vraiment pas aimé mon expérience de cet hiver, alors l'automne prochain je vais me débarrasser de mes spring et je vais remettre ceux d'origine...

Tein are excellent springs but I would not buy them from that Ebay seller. He has a lot of negative feedback. I contacted him for springs and he wanted to pull some off Ebay scam that sounded pretty fishy.

Just boughtr some springs on ebay.ca. The dude bought them from Canucks Motorsport a few month ago, but ended up selling it's trix before he could install them on it.So it was very, very cheap, with shipping, it was under 100$ can.So this will be one of my mod this year.mike
