    I'm gonna say...I dunno. But I'm going to lean in the against direction. If you ever bottom out do you know how the springs will react?

    When you do that, are you going to then tell people that you have Eibach Pro-Kit????? I believe doing that would be at the very least borderline RICE. Not to mention that its just a bad idea.. I'm not trying to bash you, we all get crazy ideas at some time or another.

    To answer your question, YES it will work, it will lower the car. BUT, it will ride like shit, and you WILL NOT be happy with it. Besides, the Pro-Kit is only $200.

    IMO, dont do it.

    I agree dont do it, it doesnt sound good. Springs wont break but the clamp may.

    its gonna work. but when u go over a bump or something, the spring is gonne compress even more and the clamp might rattle. and yea, things are pretty tight down there and so you'd need a pretty small clamp. with that said, clamp that small, the spring compressing all the time, you're gonna end up breaking the clamp every few thousand miles

    There you go, thinking the right way. Save up for a real kit, wether it be coilovers or differant springs. You wont be sorry. Plus when people ask about the drop you wont be embarrased and have to 'act the fool'. You will know what you put on the car and have a knowlegable answer. Knowledge is power!
