FWD Non-ECS Springs

[hdorre]

Ive searched, and searched.. and didnt find many options. The only popular springs that Ive seen are Eibach and Intrax, and Intrax springs are seemingly impossible to find. Ive read that Eibach doesnt really drop the car much either. I saw Vogtland on 3SX, but that is only for N/A's with ECS.

Are there any options that Im missing? Im not looking for an overly aggressive drop. Anywhere between a 1 inch and 1.5 inch drop would be nice. I dont want coilovers.

Thanks in advance.

The difference between the ecs strut and the non ecs strut fit wise is just the spring perch. The ecs strut will bolt right up to the non ecs car, allowing you to use the ecs springs. If you were thinking of going kyb's gr-2's at the same time, you could use the ecs style struts with any of the 3 springs you mentioned. The springs for the front are identical whether ecs or not.

I don't think anyone makes lowering springs for the non ecs rear strut.

I've used the Eibachs, Intrax and Vogtlands, and prefer the Vogtland on about any surface to either of the others. They dropped my fwd tt 1.3" both front and rear.

Good luck.

Eibach is the only direct fit setup for a non ECS car (will fit turbo cars with no ECS as well). If you wanted to fit springs for an ECS car onto yours, you would not only need the rear shocks, but also the upper spring mount hardware.

Yeah, by the time you price everything out you're pretty much at the cost of coilovers (like Megans) which will bolt in.
