Suspension Question

[Thony]

I want to lower my 05' fx35 without spending a ton, I was wondering if i can just get the H&R or Eibach lowering springs and installing it onto my stock fx struts. Will this change my ride comfort? what will be the pros and the cons of this?

i would go with H&r it will help with ride comfort but feel sporty at the same time.. Forget eibachs they snap.
and also to add if your stock shocks are over 60k i would advise to replace them with new kyb ones

^:plus1: I would recommend to save up a little more and replace the struts and shocks if you're near 60K miles or over when doing the springs as labor for the suspension will cost you anywhere from $200 to $400. A set of new KYB struts and shocks will be about $250. I would also recommend to replace the strut bearing ($15 - $20 each) too while you're had it apart simply because if it fail later before you need to replace the struts again it will cost you the labor for taking apart the struts. Also, don't forget alignment after any suspension work done to the car. Firestone lifetime alignment is the best value if you planning to keep the car for awhile. It cost $180 around my area. One time alignment cost $90.
