ride height

ErzenE92 · 08-30-2013, 11:14 AM

good morning everyone, I was wondering if anyone might know the answer to my question. I wanted to find out how much lower the "sport package" springs rode compared to the standard springs.

Idk but I'd recommend Eibach Pro-Kit if you're just going with springs.

Is your car lowered? Looks like it in your avatar.

I had the same question a while ago, and I seem to recall hearing it's in the 3/4 to 1 inch range.

I went to my dealer and priced having the sport suspension installed. It was $3000. Now I think that includes a little bit more than springs and dampers (maybe bushings?), but geesh!

I just installed KW ST coil-overs on mine. $1300 turnkey. I think the stance is very similar to the sport package.

I haven't lowered it yet and was trying to figure out how much of a drop different springs would be seeing that the sport springs are lower then the standard springs. thanks for the info.

I was thinking about put some H&R race springs on the car but it is a DD so I am not sure if I want to go too low.
