Cool

I have a MY98 and want to fit springs and Koni dampers. But the Eibach springs aren't very low. I want -35mm!
Will I destroy my cars handling with the lower springs and Koni sport dampers (of course with prodrive geometry settings)
thankx for any comments

5Zigen makes a spring that lowers more than the Eibachs. You might also want to look into Tein S-Tech springs.

H&R springs... you will get at least a 1.5" drop in the rear and 1" in the front...

i had them on my GT and it was low!! too low for off road...

Tein springs from GGR (GGS022) works, lowers about 1,5" up front, and .75" in the rear.
They work with my MY00 stock dampers...but should do better with a tad stiffer ones.

Thanks!

The wheels are Tecnomagnesio TM-sport in 17x7 (ET48), 215/40 Eagle F1's.
And the wing is a 22b-sort-of-replica from Scoobysport.

I second the Tein S-Tech springs I've got them combined with KYB-AGX adjustable dampers and the car sits just right: , at least in my opinion They lower the front & rear about 30mm.
