Lowering Springs

1187 Views 22 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  big jim
I have a question about lowering springs. So I just purchased wheels, and would like to complete the look of the car by adding some lowering springs. What springs do you guys recommend? Id like the rear fender to be as close to the tire as possible. Right now I'm between aFe and Swift. Any other reccomendations?

If you want performance spring eibach. If it’s just for looks you will be very hard to beat whiteline

Keep in mind both are great springs for lowering and better springs although. I just give eibach the edge in performance and whiteline in looks and ride height.

Sounds good. Thank you. Just out of curiosity, how are the eibach's better in terms of performance?
They seem to have a better spring rate IMO.
Whiteline a are more of a lowering spring but are not terrible. I have eibach on mine and my buddy has whitelines. His sits lower but mine seem to have a much better feel and control.

Would like to hear more chime in on this subject....
i have the eibach springs. when i had them installed on my 2016, there was noticeable diff over the oem springs. like @Snox801 stated.."better feel & control"...felt less bounce.

from looking at pics of members' cars on here with whiteline springs...they do look to lower the car a little more.
Who has H&R vs Eibach spring experience or impressions?
Dang RS is low enough as it is. You will be taking a chance on the street of damaging your precisions RS ...
Might I add that you will be hard pressed to get better performance than eibach, maybe not lower but better. Keep in mind eibach supplies Penske shock. And if you know anything about shocks. They make no better shock in the market than a Penske. Period.
I have a lot of favorites but Penske is the best. But the price reflects it also.
So they are usually very good.
Agree on Penske shocks but that doesn’t mean that the RS spring is the same steel as the spring sold to Penske for racing. Glad you like the Eibach RS spring.
Yes as always take with a grain of salt. As you are correct. I was just stating that I believe that’s why they always seem to be very very good. My gues is knowing what works wether they get info from Penske for all or not. They usually produce good products. Point being if they are good enough for Penske they clearly make a quality product.
Yes Eibach is indeed a great product and in racing just like H&R. I would argue that Hyperco is in the next tier but doesn’t make a street spring product. Swift does tho. The street consumer end where most of us live is what I’d like to sus out prior to installing. We all have a bit of a different perspective on our street use case. Snox, much respect. I will prob get back to you on the WMI stuff.
You sir have the right idea. These things are very much up to a personal choice and use of car.
My buddy loves his whiteline and will never change. He likes the lower ride.
I ha e never tried HR but they seem well liked and seem to be more performance oriented also not as much focused on lowering.
Let us know what you choose and pictures
I find that the suspension is fine from the factory. I spend my money going to an F1 track with a professional to increase my driving skills.
