I am looking at lowering my 09 base cab and see that there is tech art, eibach and h@r lowering springs. My question is are tech art and eibach the same spring? and which eibach are people using, the sport or pro kit? I have been shopping on the sharkworks site, very pleased, but the springs are $695. If i do a general search both the eibach springs and h@r springs seem to be around $300. And what are the diffrences between eibach and H@R springs.. Just looking for my best deal for lowering the car with a quality product.
thanks guy's
Paul.

 

I have H&Rs and they are the more aggressive lowering of the set, 1.2". I think the drop is perfect and eliminates the gap.

 

Do coilovers few thousand but well worth it. My cars been looking like a grass hopper for few years and and i cant wait to lower it just waiting on my funds. But well worth it and beats just springs. Imo forgot to mention the handeling of the car.

 

Paul,

If you need Pricing and Install please Email me

 

I am going the Eibach Pro Kit route. Should have everything installed by mid April.

Spoke to my dealer and he told me that the H&R and Eibach springs come from the same factory, however, H&R does not make a set for my application 06 C2 (I do have H&R sways installed).

I considered coilovers but the price difference (~ $1,500 for the springs installed versus $5,000 for the coilovers ) made it a no brainer.

 

While I love the look, I have to think you have a challenge negotiating any curbs or dips with that much lowering PLUS a front lip. With mine lowered just over 3/4" using Damptronics, I still had to be very careful to avoid scraping the bottom front bumper, and I didn't have a lip.
This is why I chose Damptronics over springs, as it gave me the opportunity to lower to the level of my choice, and I didn't have to worry about more settlement as springs aged. Plus, the Damptronics provide great handling improvement after a good alignment and corner balance.

 

This is news to me considering I have them on an 06 C2..

Yes, you do. The roads around me are pretty solid and my car is not my DD so its not too much of a concern. Also, the front lip is fairly cheap and easily repairable so I was OK with going aggressive and dealing with the issues.

Going into they city like DC is another issue.

If my car was my DD I would of probably went the coilover route and think twice about how aggressive I set it.

 

+1 for coilovers as well - more expensive but give you the option to set the height exactly where you want.

 

Am I not right in thinking H&R make the OE springs for the 997 GT2, GT2 RS and
GT3's??

O6 C2 H&R spring set part number: 29188-1

 

H&R springs here and I love it. Perfect stance unless you drive it everyday. Traditionally H&R springs are stiffer and lower than Eibach. Eibach ride very OEM but lower.

 

I just did the H&R springs 2-months ago. No problems,car feels tighter in corners. Excellent look as far as the height. Recommend!!

 

I agree, it really depends on if your car is a DD or not.

Like I mentioned, it would have impacted my decision.

 

Thanks for the infomation guy's. My car is not a DD and i do have to say i love the look the H@R spring. What is the space between the top of the tire and the body panel of the car? Has anyone ever had a tire rub on the body? From the pics that were posted the top of the tire sure looks close to the body. Also can you still drive over a speed bump? thanks in advance!

 

H&R Is the way to go if you want a spring that gives a lowered drop. Both Eibach and H&R are progressive springs, so the quality on both are amazing. If you plan on running 19" Wheels, H&R or Eibach. If you choose 20" we would suggest Eibach.

Both companies make outstanding products. Good Luck on your final decision and let us know if you need a price quote.

Thank you
