hey finally someone from fairfax, wasssup man?

i believe the eibach springs, for the gen 3, have a drop of 1 inch, so i don't think you will see a HUGE difference in the drop.


btw, what kind of rims did you get?

Eibach will lower your car the least out of all the springs on the mkt. What sort of a drop are you looking for and how much ride comfort are you prepared to lose?

Here a pic of Votland spring, which are the newest springs avail. BTW- there's a groupbuy going on now

pic belongs to cbra928 over at SC3

hey what's up guys thanks for ur responses.....i like the drop that u have there Phi that's what i'm lookin for not too low and not jacked up like a 4x4 i'm hoping that i will get a look like yours once i install the springs but i have a hunch that it won't turn out like that. I bought 18" rims and Eibachs will only drop my car 1" in front and 1.2" inch in the back. if i don't get the look i'm goin for then i will have to sell the Eibachs and get maybe Intrax which i hear drops the car 1.5"

hey Oismail where are u located exactly?? I live like 2 minutes from George Mason University. There's a few of us around the area. E-mail me sometime TRD73@hotmail.com so we can all get together. What do u have done to ur car??

I have a 96 4 banger with RMM front cleared Front, 18" Rims which are Konig Tantrums, Custom cat-back exhaust and Cold Air Intake, Eibachs which are on the way KYB GR-2 gas struts which are also on the way. Scanner, strobes, shaved emblems RMM wing, and i think that's it

if you use eibachs, and you've got 18" rims, it should actually look pretty fine....the drop after settling is actually more than 1".....just get the biggest tires that you can get for your rims without skewering the dynamics of your odometer/speedomoter readings, and it should fill out the wheel well pretty well.....only thing is to make sure you get the 4cyl springs and not the 6 by accident, or else your front won't drop any....but the rear are the same, and I personally think gives the perfect drop
