Lowering Springs on a 02 r/t what are my options?

Kezzo123 · Post by **Kezzo123** » Wed Dec 16, 2009 12:10 pm

I have recently bought new alloys (215/45/17) wolfrace octane's and they look really good (with no rubbing at all) but the car is sitting way to high! I like the soft ride atm but going a bit stiffer wouldnt hurt much.
I am torn between the Apex Lowering Springs, or the Eibach Pro Kit. Any one have any reviews they want to share??

Thanks.

i like the look of the pro kit, however i'm happy with my k-sports, it just doesnt level the car like the eibachs

hmmmm so the apex kit does 35mm all round and the eibachs do a little more on the rear, you know what the ride quality is like tho on either spring?

i dont know first hand, i'm sure its stiffer since the springs rates are higher though.

I have the eibach pro kit with tokico hps and i love it, ride quality is a little rough but thats ok. Only suggestion would be to buy aftermarket shocks, cause you'll blow out your stock ones pretty quick with these springs

It's supposed to say Sportline. Honestly I've never heard of Apex springs.

EDIT: I guess because those seem to be in Europe, and you are not in America. Makes sense.

Cant go wrong with the h&r LE springs, they are dirt cheap and good quality.

Unfortunatly the H&R springs are quite expensive in europe, the eibachs are cheaper by about 20% and the Apex by about 30%.
