Had my car lowered with Eibach springs last month and it looks perfect. I mostly drive around town (Santa Monica, West LA etc).

Took a drive to the desert this weekend and I bottomed out EVERYWHERE included the 10 freeway in the IE. I had to pull over to smack a part of the front bumper underside back up into the car as it was dragging and cracked. WTF...

Also the ride wasn't smooth like I remember it. I felt all the imperfections and bumps in the road. Wasn't comfortable going over 90 mph.

Any of you other guys with lowered suspensions feel this?

 

I have H&Rs and I never have these issues.


Handling is great at top speeds and I don't bottom out unless its a bad dip in the road.

 

H&R here and no problems, the springs are stiff

 

Do you have an aerokit bumper or lip installed?

 

I bottom out everywhere unless I am ridiculously careful on my springs

 

I have H&R's and AeroKit . Lip is a nightmare but you get used to what you can go over and learn how to move around other things.

I have never bottomed out, FL roads are V Bad and that has never happened :-(

 

Techart and no issues.

 

I have the GT3 front bumper with the cup spoiler, which is a bit more aggressive, and I have to be careful too but I have no issues with bottoming out..

 

x2, absolutely love my TechArts

 

i've got Eibachs

no problem what-so-ever driving in southern Cal

no problem on the tracks

no problem at speeds up to 160

the ride stiffness is comparable to oem springs

perhaps ur shocks are shot ?

 

H&R here and no problems. I have the Factory Aero Kit, too. Sorry to hear this. Defnintely have to watch myself around town, but still never bottom out.

I had the Eibach Pro Kit installed today. Getting a four corner alignment in the morning. Will pick it up tomorrow afternoon. Don't anticipate any problems but I will let you know

 

H&R's here too, no issues except for one dip on a local freeway.

 

No problem with bottoming out with my 997.2 4S on Techart springs by Eibach. Ride doesn't feel much different from the stock springs.

Check and see if your springs are seated correctly in the sockets, otherwise, your struts maybe at the end of their lifetime. Do you notice an uneven ride height?

 

It does sound like the shocks are gone. Do you have PASM? I read some forum post that aftermarket lowering springs can damage PASM.
