My car is not low enuff in the front...don't like the even look of the Eibachs. I also do not like the raked look of H&R's. So I want H&R's in front with my Eibachs in back. Would anyone like to switch their H&R's with my Eibachs up front? Anybody having trouble with the front being too low and want it a bit higher? Here's your chance!! Install would be $85 a car. So if you wanna work something out, let me know.

be carfull as the height is not everthing. you need to consider the spring rate as well, for example you might put an eibach in the front and an h&r in the rear then you may end up with to hard or soft of a spring in the front and rear. it is kinda hard to explain I am going too talk to my tech about this and get back to you. I guess the point is this the companies that make these springs do yearsa of research to make there products what they are and they didn't plan on any one mixing them, and this could be not only bad for your driving but also bad for your car.. call me at the shop if you ever want to talk about it. We built a entire spring rating system here at the shop for our race cars and man you would not belive some of the results..

I have Koni's which are adjustable so if the H&R's are too stiff the Koni's will compensate. The springs do very lil compared to the Koni's in terms of ride quality.

Also be careful about car balance. The rear wheel wells will show less gap becuase the body comes down lower over the wheel since it doesn't ever turn. The front fender is higher and will show more gap even though the car is even.
My Leda springs lower 2"'s, and with the 16" SVT wheels it looks pretty nice. The front still has some gap though.

Originally posted by British Banger: Josh, just keep it simple and buy coilovers Recalls on bearings and have your car undriveable is not what I call keeping it simple! I will never by GC's...too many probs and a bouncy ride due to the linear springs...very bad choice for the Tour.

That may be true, but they look damn cool!  Seems like anything to do with bearings and the contours isn't good!!
