Default Eibach lowering

hey guys

Who owned buy car before me cut the front springs and it started to **** me driving it like that because it is too freakin low and my car jumps when I hit the bumps. I don't have enough money right now to put coilovers on my car so I decided to go with Eibach pro kit. I read all the old articles about it but I wanted to ask you guys one last time. If I replace my springs with eibach pro kit without changing shocks and struts also without putting a camber kit how is my driving going to be. instead of putting eibach should i just go buy factory spring and just replace the front springs. please give me some opinions[sm=smiley5.gif]

eibachs are good springs, for sure the ride wil be better than cut springs, but without a good shock paired they will be a stiffer bouncy. stock shocks arent stiff enough for the springs and will wear the stock shocks out faster.

eibach is very expensive, you can buy a set of Skunk2 coilovers for like 290 and i hear they are an awesome brand.

you are thinking of true coilovers. Skunk2 (i believe) are the spring type coilovers. NO TRUE COILOVER is going to cost under $600. True coilovers are the best( JIC, TEIN SS).

yeah those cheap "coilovers" are just little adjustable cups that you put under your springs, so you can adjust your ride height. theyre pretty low quality and worthless
