hey guys, the wierdest question just popped up in my mind :

do stock springs or wahtever springs just scrunch over and lower themselves over time??

probably not yeah?

just wanted an opinion...

Hey dude, Yes springs get weak over time and will sag, but with normal use that's like many years down the road. I think our G's are safe for a while..........[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Of course, technically, they don't shrink themselves.. the weight of the car fatigues them over time. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

First off I want to ask what kind of springs are you talking about? Stock or AfterMarket?

If your talking about After Market springs.. i.e. Eibach's.. after installatoin they take up to a week or more to settle (drop lower.) usually not more than 0.3 inches..

creep and fatigue will eventually lower your car, however it will take a LOOOOOONNNNG time and you wont notice.

i have the sport pkg and after 1400+ miles, i think they've gotten just a tad softer after break-in. could be my imagination though...

thanks guys, actually i was wondering about both stock and aftermarket

i've been wondering how much$ it'll cost to put on those 1.1 inch lowering springs...

Around 250-350...

..pestilence..

 

that's it ? including installation?

i thought the springs themselves cost that much...

 

I got mine done for under $350 including install... You can find Eibach's for 250 online..

..pestilence..

 

that actually sounds like an attractive deal... was it considerably noticable? i meant that it was lowered? to people who you didn't tell you lowered the car, could those people tell?

So the eibach PRO-kit will lower the car probably 1 more inch than the stock SPORT SPRINGS ? I thought the pro-kit and factory sport springs are the same cause all that I know is the sport springs will lower about 1 inch from the original springs.

 

Hmm.. I dont konw where you read about the stock springs lowering the car vs the sport stock springs... To the best of my knowlage they are the same height.. the sport is just stiffer..

..pestilence..

 

i actually find the stock normal springs to be pretty tight and stiff..... will the eibachs be even a rougher ride?

ic ant' stand rough rides, especially cause my car's got the rattles!
