Difference in Ride Height

[gmgagne]

Before, Stock Height




After, Lowered with Eibach

Nice before and after shot. BIG difference in the look, how's the ride quality?

 

[gmgagne]

Thanks man, to tell you the truth, i dont feel any real difference going over bumps, and such. It handles so much tighter and it feels like you are planted on the ground. Its lie night and day, i dont know why i didnt do this earlier, the 35 is up next!

Looks way better after! After I got lowered, I couldn't figure out why I didn't do it earlier. Just watch out for those parking lot blocks...they can tend to jump up and rub on your underbody now. ;-)

 

[gmgagne]

haha, it is a great mod. It does sit low now, so us lowered FX's need to be more careful

 

[djpathfinder]

...so what mod's next? ;-)

 

[gmgagne]

stay tuned

haha, prob, strut tower brace, intake, tint, and i see some sexy HKS exhaust for sale for a killer price here on the forum. Who knows!

 

[HanJo Lee]

When you lowered your fx, did you have to replace struts with new springs? or do you have to replace strut that fits new spring?? or can you just keep the original strut and just install new springs?
Thanks a lot

 

[gmgagne]

I dont believe they had to replace the struts. Just put new springs in.

 

[Dr.2K]

The springs should settle a bit more and will look even better!

How much lower will it sit?

 

[Dr.2K]

Well on my 45 it is lower then your picture and since your springs are new with time it will settle in a little lower. I have to take some update profile pictures.

 

[gmgagne]

how long does it take to fully settle?

 

[Dr.2K]

Probably a few weeks from what others have experienced.

 

[djpathfinder]

you'll know they're completely settled when you hear a metallic scraping sound and see sparks in your side mirrors. LOL!

Looks great. Looks soooooooooooooooooooo much better.

I can hardly wait to drop mine.

The sparks are the best part.

 

[MTN FX]

Definate improvement looking good

 

[KNFX]

looks great! i wish my rear drop was as low as yours. mine seemed higher for some reason. i guess thats how the H&Rs are.. or is it because yours is a 45?

 

[ghettojiggalo]

are those 18's or 20's in your after pic?
