  • WHich springs for lowering exactly 1.5 inches?

    Ok so I decided to buy some lowering springs. I hate the gigantic mind numbing wheel gap of my 94 GT. I have come to the conclusion that I want to lower it 1.5 inches. I have had a 94 GT that was lowered 2 inches before, and it sucked. Too easy to scrape on stuff. So which springs are good, and will lower 1.5"? I looked at eibach, but their Pro-Kit says it only lowers my car 1.1". Then the sprortline jumps to 2.3".

          I looked at the Eibach prokits and they only lower 1.1" What do yall think about these? They're off brand and they're inexpensive, so they might suck. But they lower 1.5" like I'm looking for.

            summit stuff is usually made by a large company ie eibach or someone and just rebadged as house brand. that said, summit branded stuff has never proven itself to be crap when i have used it.

                Aren't the Bullitt/Mach 1 springs about 1.25"?

                  I don't think so... atleast not on the Bullitts. My dad's 2001 Bullitt looked like a 4x4 compared to my wife's old 2001 GT that had a pro kit on it.

                    If you can find them the Kenny Brown kits were exactly the right rake with a 1.5" drop in the front. (Non coil over.)

                      Here are some before and after pictures of an eibach pro-kit. Of course it is on a 2001 and not a 94... but the platform is the same along with the spring part #s. Sorry the angle of the car is not the same. Before anyone says anything about the lic. plates... the car is no longer in TX.

                        Ok so do you think its possible that they actually lower more than 1.1"? Looking at the pics, that looks closer to 2".

                          if you are that exact on needing 1.5" get adjustable coil-overs. The amount lowered is a round about number and all springs sag some over time.

                            bbk specific rate no isolators. still high enough not to bottom out over speed bumps even with the longtubes.

                              Yeah but how much do they sag, and over how much time? If I knew that it would help me out a lot. I don't need it to be 100% exact, but I just want it to be low enough for my taste. I've seen some guys spend money on stuff that didn't really lower the car all that much. Guess I'll just go with the eibachs and hope for the best.
