I am going to buy Eibach Sportlines springs, the guy bought them new and didn't installed them on his car because he selled is focus and bought a VW !

after all cost me less !

I am running on the stock shoks, some people told me that if I go that low (2 front and 2.2 rear) I would need to change the shocks cause those springs are really sports one. Is it true ? And then what are my choice other than Koni ?

thank you guys !

You should change your dampers out regardless of the drop. You might want to look in to the Eibach Pro-Dampers as they are designed to work with your springs.

I think $300 CDN is a fair price. You won't get them anywhere else any cheaper after shipping & duties etc.
I have had the sportlines in my car for about 9 months now. And my stock shocks are pretty much toast. A combo of blown stock shocks and sportlines = a very soft setup. Easy to bottom out. So either go with the stockers for a few months, and change them out for aftermarket shocks, or just do them both at the same time.
Are you going to leave the sportlines in for the winter?

should I change them for the winter ???

I am thinking of changing all the set-ups now, cause after a little accident, my front passenger suspension is damaged, soo will need to be changed, then why not change everything at the same time ?
