alright i was thinking about getting a set of 4 kyb struts and getting the eibach lowering kit...does anyone have this setup and do they like it does it rub just any input would be nice

Don't know about the eibach lowering kit, but the KYB aint gonna hold too long if you are dropping the car. I had the KYB with Intrax Spring and they went out quick. Just buy your self a Set of Tokico BLues

agreed^^ and with properly sized rims/tires a 1-3" drop shouldnt rub

the eibachs only drop a little over an inch, and the car wont look lowered at all. go with intrax or 2g lowering springs that have a 2" drop for the best look imo. i have 2g megan springs on my whip, pic in sig

im happy with my eibachs. low enough and no clearance problems. i had some intrax and they were way too low and the car handled like [shizzle], put the eibachs on and have been happy with them

would it be smarter to use the struts off my 90 626 n/a? i can get those off and i was thinking about just getting the eibach's because i dont want to have my car that low just lower, but if enough people can tell me different i would probably give in

oh yeah and my car is a 5 door gt so it would look cooler dropped more

Heres a pic of what the Intrax spring with Tokico Blues look like.

i think i will go with the intrax springs with just my stock 626 n/a struts unless i get money for tokico struts

pic of my dirty car in the winter. Has intrax on stock struts. Just make sure to get your car aligned when done! When i went to align my car at work my car had both wheels pointing out from it being slammed, which was the toe. The camber surprisingly was in spec.

ohh and don't be like most people and say "My steering wheel is straight so my car must be aligned correctly." I hate when people say it because thats not true at all lol

I just had a question I was looking at a set of tokico blues also do i need to get the bellows and strut mounts or anything else if I do that?

**randys626turbo** · 8-23-09, 22:30

yeah i think im going to just clean up my struts and use the intrax springs with stock struts off my 90 until they decide to give up...haha thanks a lot guys ill get some pictures up when im done with it hopefully

**randys626turbo** · 8-23-09, 22:31

how does ur car do threw the snow with that lowering kit???

shadowdemon · 8-23-09, 22:55

Oh and does anyone have the tokico hp set with tokico springs? Let me know how that handles and if you know if the eibach lowering springs are better. Thanks

Snow can be a little ruff with a lowered car. As long as it doesn't get too deep.

yeah its usually not to bad around here because i live in a populated area, but i was thinking about just putting the stock stuff back on for winter so i dont have to worry about it, so i will either get them this summer/fall and switch them out and then just use my stockers for winter...
