Where's the cheapest place to buy lowering springs

I would like to know what people paid for their lowering springs. I was doing a little searching online and the only place that I found springs was tirerack.com.

They had Eibachs for $280+shipping. Is everbody using Eibach pro-kits?

Thanks,

Paul

Re: Where's the cheapest place to buy lowering springs

I just purchased my Eibach 1.1 Pro kit from a store up the street by the name of VIP Motorsports. They gave me the springs for $250, and $100 for install.

Questions I have:
- Once the springs are installed -- when do i go for an alignment? Do i have to go twice (once installed then again after it settles?)
- Do i need to replace anything else but the springs? I want a smooth ride.. Do i need new shocks?

Alex from Southwest autoworks (goes on altimas.net forums) will give you a good price. I dont think he is allowed to advertise his prices so just check his website out. It is a lot lower than the 280$ pricing

his site is www.southwestautoworks.com.

Ive ordered plenty from him back when I had an altima and he has been true to his word everytime.

I dont think they make shocks for the g35 yet, but shocks that match the springs would be best.

Align your car after your springs settle. Maybe a week or two after you drop the car.

So you align once when you drop it and again a few weeks later?

i think aligning after you drop it is optional unless you drive a lot. If you dont, then you can wait till your car settles into the new springs and then align if you travel lightly.

I saw your PICS; ...nice. Go post it at http://www.rankmyride.com with your exact specifications too. ...How's your handling? Better? Did your sport tuned shocks accepted the new springs?

Sport Tuned, Sunroof, Aero, Leather, Desert Platinum.

Re: Where's the cheapest place to buy lowering springs

The ride is a little stiff, but not bumpy. You feel the road a lot more too. Alot of that has to do with the tire setup. I have 19" 245 x 35 Pole Position 2.

I had the car lowered with the stock wheels first to see what the ride would be like....less travel, firm and was not bumpy. On the freeway, it was a little more firmer.
