Hi guys...

Looking at buying some Eibach springs for my EP2

http://www.procivic.com/pages-product_c ... index.html

I found this link... It says it lowers the car:
Front - 1 Inch
Rear - 1.1 Inch

I was wondering if anyone had used these and would recommend...
Any pictures of EP2s Lowered are welcome too...

Im struggling finding a desired lowering height so any advice is welcome please :)

The pro-kit springs are good quality springs but on ep2's especially facelifts which are slightly lower standard the drop isnt massive! If I was you i'd go with some Eibach sportlines. Its around a 30-35mm drop but realistically i think its slightly less. check out my thread if you wanna see some pics :wink: hope this helps :)

You don't have to but making the springs harder and keeping the shocks the same will make it more bouncy yes.

Try the springs first. And if you don't like the ride, upgrade your shocks. But if your doing that you may as well spend £400 on some nice Tein coilovers :thumbup:

I have the pro kit on the pre facelift and its dropped a reasonable amount whilst keeping a bit of ride comfort, for me its just right. The ride can be firm on certain roads an speed bumps but just about bearable. However the sportlines will be even firmer wich i would find irritating on todays roads, not to mention tha extra stress it places on joints/bushes under the car. Coilovers will probably shatter your spine if you so much as drive over a flea's d#×k. But some people dont mind that ,its each to there own.. :thumbup:
