Hey, Guys

I was planning in buy the Eibach Springs but I want to know if they would low my car to much and then hit in every stop bump in addition I have long headers. I will appreciate any advice.


Thanks !

 

For those who care his car looks to be a 93-96 model...


Anyways I've got a 96 with the small eibach drop and long tubes and occasionally they scrape something. Carful driving is the way but it can be done without any major issues. the 2 inch drop gets to be a pain in DD IMO.

 

If you gotta do springs/long tubes, you must get the right brands. Pacesetter long tubes are one of the better ones for clearence. I think those eibach springs (1.3" advertised) might drop you a little too much. Try maybe hotchkis or BMR (1" or so). I have hotchkis and pacesetter long tubes and I'm fine. Just gotta b careful over speedbumps and potholes etc.

EDIT: Just noticed you have hooker... Dropping with hookers is not a great idea. If you are goign to do it, definatly get the 1" drop springs. Not Eibach.

 

That is a good point it's been so long since I did the LT drop that I forgot I bought FLPs, not even sure they make em anymore, because of their slightly better ground clearance.

 

so pacesetters r the best way to go for clearence?.....im thinking about a 1.25inch drop would the pacesetters be fine?......also their are alot of crappy roads in my city

 

camaroracing12, Im fine with 1" drop and my pacesetters. Ive only scraped a couple times when i first got them in. Then I got used to it.

 

abso..

Im dropped on eibachs...and im sitting on C6 wheels...the lts only scrape at the y-pipe...and even before that..it hits at the oil pan. my pan is dented like crazy...but its a lot cheaper to replace than lts...

 

so u think i'd be ok with a 1.25inch drop? with pacesetter long tubes? also wat r the hp gains with pacesetter long tubes?....i heard they are awesome....

 

If you really want some good clearance Kooks is always a good option

 

i have eibachs. got about 1.4" drop. dont have headers yet, but i only scrape the y-pipe.

for headers and clearance...how are the QTP's?

 

I'm on H&Rs, which drop 1.3, w/ pacesetters and had no problems when it was my daily driver. You should be fine as long as you watch out while going over speed bumps.

 

and just fyi...i cant even clear a speed-bump.

 

GnarlyZ28- THat is awesome clearance! !!!!

w/ my SLP LT's, Cats and Y... my sh*t sits about an inch and a half off the ground!

my clearance is terrible.

I ahve the Eibach pro kit and I have major clearance issues w/ the SLP kit...

I scrape on the dang fuel fill caps in the ground at the gas station! THe small ones!

 

I actuall have eibach sportlines and hoooker LT's with a 2.5" x-pipe and true duals. You just have to drive carefull there are some driveways that i cant go in though because i dont have enough clerance in the center. This is not a daily driver however, if it yours i would not go any lower that 1.25".

not a daily driver...but a bit more than a weekend car. ill be ok. im getting used to the clearance. i have to come to a complete stop and crawl over all forms of bumps. grrr
