Suspension Kit!

Hey everyone!,

I'm going to buy a suspension kit within the next couple weeks but I don't know what to get. I'm leanig toward the Eibach Sport-System Plus. It will lower my car about 2 inches. Does anyone have this kit on now? If so how is it? Any pics? Can anyone suggest a different kit? Keep in mind I'm a relativly poor college student and I found the Sport System for only $587 which seems like a pretty good deal. If anyone found a better deal let me know. Tell me what you think!

The spax kit seems pretty sweet. The Eibach kit is a better deal because it comes with front and rear sway bars though. The Spax kit is a good deal too... Does anyone have the Spax kit? I might consider it if someone could tell me how well it rides.

how good of a driver are you? buz if your not that experience the sway bars will kick u in the ass, all i added was a rear sway bar and there have been times my ass end kicked out.

Also you can buy the sway bars seperately from the eibach kit too.

I like to think of myself as a pretty good driver.

Would you mind explaining how and why your rear end kicked out on you? I've heard or times when only adding a rear bar without a front results in the rear becoming unstable. I know you can buy the bars seperate but its almost 300 bucks.

sway bars prevent your car from swaying, well preventing the swaying in a tight turn will cause the ass end to kick out if the tires dont grip.

By just doing the rear sway its more stable than doing both, alot of Auto-x guys will do just the rear or put a bigger rear sway and smaller front sway, the eibach sways or one of the largest you can get for our cars, makes a nice tight ride but can reek havok when fucking around.
