Suggestion of which lowering spring

lolodog · 06-05-2007

Hi All,

After reading the post of the lowering spring you guys were talking about, I am now considering Eibach. My question is:

1. Which band give the least lowering? in terms of height, Eibach??

2. I have carlsoon kit and 19' rims, i worry about the fenders and wheels clearance and also will my body kit easy to get hit by speed bumps or entrance of parking lot?

Thanks for your input
LOLO

Eibach is a great set up. I have the eibach springs also and am delighted with them. they let the car sit nicely, while still maintaining dceent ground clearance.
ny pics of your car?

Brabus/Eibach is about an inch as is the least lowered, H&R and Schaetz is about 1.3", and Intrax is about 1.2", get Eibach to be safe .

You should not rub with eibach's if you have the proper size and offset, you will probably scratch you front bumper at some point or another, even with the AMG kit, you'll scratch, carlsson is no exception, just be careful and drive slowly on bumps and dips.

I think Eibach is the least in terms of lowering to be safe but later on your heart wants the H&R badly!
