hey, i was wondering how much a few spring sets for my p5 will drop the car...i would look in the search but they r so spread and it would take me forever to find them so it would be easier to just post them here...

 

Racing Beat springs = .75" drop

 

the Eibach Pro Kit drops the front 1.4" and the rear 1.2".....if you look...the front has more wheel to fender gap....this evens out the look very nicely....

 

Racing Beat = .75F .875R

Eibach = 1.4F 1.2R

Tein = 1.8F 1.5R

Spool = 2.0F ??R

Racing beat= 1" drop

 

You sure about that?

 

Wrong. Not for a P5. See above post.

 

spool 2" front....1.75" rear.

going to take a dead coil out of my rear springs soon, and get another .5 inch to get rid of the last little fender gap in the back. these springs never did settle in the back, but the front goes down.

 

I put a set of RB on my Sedan. It dropped it 1" all around. It looks good. I measured it before and after. I bought them right from RB. You have to measure it with a full tank of gas.


But I have the same diameter wheel/tire combo as stock. 215/40/17. The gap between the tire and the fender looks even now. That's what I was looking for.

I think the car looks better when the gap is even around the tire. Dropping it with less gap on top then all around looks **** to me.

 

Good to know. Post some pics when you get a chance.

 

Don't believe anyone mentioned H&R springs at 1.3/1.3" F/R.

You can also look into Progress and Intrax as well...there are so many choices

 

yes there should always be a wide range of choices for springs for cars since alot of them are partially universal to that style of car. Other companies make them specific for each brand/model, I would tend to think that, while more expensive, this is always the btter choice to have a prioduct tuned for your specific application.
