Have sportlines, need more ground clearance but dont want to lose handling
Hey guys,
I am running the sport system from eibach (sportline springs, dampers, and sway bars front and rear) the car looks awesome and handles great but it's impossible to get on a trailer, it has scraped up my ARH longtubes (which weren't cheap), and one time when braking at high speed the front bottomed out, ripped out the fender wal/wheel well and a bunch of hoses. Can anybody recommend affordable springs that are just a little lower than stock like an inch or less that will still handle as well as the sportlines? Thanks |

You might call MM and let them help you match some springs to your dampers/sway bars.

I had the Eibach Pro-kit forever and loved it. I think they are 1.5" all the way around, though.

Do you still have isolators? If not, you could order new ones which will raise the car a bit and possibly give you the little added clearance you need.

Energy suspension spring bushings. They raise the car a tad. That's what I did
