Posted April 25, 201411 yr comment_446576 Decided I am gonna commit to properly lowring my car. The price of eibach springs isn't too bad new and I've a couple used sets, but the price of proper struts is kinda harsh. I notice a company called stagg 4 lists full sets for 110 dollars that are meant to work with lowering springs. Has anybody used them? Also I know soneone who has a set of suspension techniques springs for sale new unused, I was wondering if anybody's used these before, and how they performed. If the ST springs give me a little more drop than I might get them as it is an aesthetic more than anything, but I am also doing it for performance purposes, so I don't want junk under my car.

April 25, 201411 yr comment_446577 I don't see any note stating they can be used on a lowered Z do you? I could have missed it. If they are I'm going to order a set. They have a couple different sets so maybe one is for lowered cars. They just don't specify that I can tell.

Not really confirmed though.New S30 Shock and Spring Option - Vendor's Forum - HybridZThank you! That gives some idea that there not just some random china junk that you so often find on ebay for Japanese cars. At 110 vs over 400 for anything else actually meant for lowering I can find, I'm willing to take a chance. Now to the ST springs does anybody know how low these go? The person I might be buying from says 1.5-2 '' but the only source I can find says about 1''. Motorsports says eibachs are 1-1.5 but some sources say only 1", others say none, which if I blow 300 bucks on suspension, and end up with stock ride height, I'm gonna be pissed. Are there any springz that will take you lower than 1"? I suppose I could just chop the eibachs a little but so many say its wrong.

April 25, 201411 yr comment_446593 The Eibachs lowered my 77 an inch all the way around. I installed regular KYB's (gas) struts about 15 yrs ago. Some say that is a bad combo. No problems here. Might be time for a new set for me as well.

April 25, 201411 yr comment_446599 They are made in China and are made as inexpensively as possible. But you are also being charged accordingly. These are for a stock installation or for very mild (1") lowering.

These are for a stock installation or for very mild (1") lowering.So no better really than using KYBs so if KYB can handle 1" of drop does that mean the stock struts could too? And still does anybody know how much drop you'll get out of ST springs? 1" just doesn't seem like a big enough difference to be worth. Are there any springs (not coilovers) that will get you more than 1" without chopping coils?

Catch up on how business and manufacturing works, if you can. Add a little bit of the world in general. Expand your mind, the narrow view will really limit you in the long run.Wow your helpful! Yeah I already saw and read the link, it says 1.2" , two tenths of an inch is not a big enough difference to be worth noting to me. Eibach says 1.5" but everbody that has them says its only 1", so it would stand to reason that these won't actually give you 1.2 inchs of drop. If your gonna be rude, and insulting. there is no need to respond, I don't want or need your help.

April 26, 201411 yr comment_446651 Yeah I agree with Zed Head. Im looking at different struts. No junk in my Z.Just my 2 cents. Do what makes you happy.

April 26, 201411 yr Author comment_446653 I'm not putting any junk in my Z either, honestly I've decided against using those stagg struts. When I first read the link to Hybrid, I saw that JohnC(on HybridZ) mentioned being friends with the owner of the company, and saw that the springs were made in germany, it wasn't until after I posted that I realized that the springs and struts were made by two different companys, then John Coffey's post confirmed my initial suspicions, that they aren't worth using. I've heard a few people say that they run eibachs and KYBs, and its fine. And the KYBs can be had for relatively cheap, that might be a good option. And being that the KYBs and monroes have the same travel, it would too reason that eibachs could be used with stock struts as well.
