WTT Ground Control + Eibach Springs South Florida
 
I dont know how viable this deal is, but i'll throw it out there.

I have Eibach race series springs. 375 lb./inch front spring rate, 250 lb./inch rear with Ground Control Coilover sleaves from FM.

I am moving to a bumpy town, and my garage vary front lip has to come off + I need to raise the car.

Anyone who would want to do a spring swap with maybe some FM or other springs (Tein ect...) let me know.

I am in the West Palm Beach area. Local only. Want to just swap springs without being without springs. :)

A small suggestion; if you want to raise the car a little bit the FM springs are not an option. I had them on my car and it was way too low.

I have a set of the older FM springs... I don't think these would raise you up as high as you would want...

On that note... I have some stock springs, let me know ;) ;)

I'd be willing to trade you my stockers + some cash, for either your gc springs W/ sleeves, or even just the springs...

I'm in Miami..

Can I buy the Garage vary lip from you?

Check out FCM's suspension spreadsheet on spring rates. I'll have some Eibach ProKit springs coming off soon, but as with many aftermarket springs, it would be best to add a spacer underneath so you're not hitting the bumpstops or othe things if you're too low.

I've PM'd you.

You know that the advantage to GC sleeves is you can adjust your ride height?

Tein S springs will lower your car more than FM springs, which is much lower than you'll want, if you plan on just swapping springs

I'm using GC's w/ Konis on some very bumpy roads, w/ a 14" wheel it's fine, with 16" it can be a little rough in the spring (that's the season after mud season here).
GC's w/ Bilsteins are little rough riding on backroads (my friends 94R for example). Shocks, tires, bumpstops are all part of the equation. What else are you using?

Sorry to disagree but; I've had both the FM springs and the Teins in my car (I'm currently using the teins ;) ) and the FM springs will lower your car much more than the Teins, plus the Teins are height adjustable.

theres a 2 different versions of fm springs. The older ones are low. But the new model not so much.

rleete 06-14-2008 10:03 AM

I can confirm that. I recently installed the older version FM springs. It's slammed compared to the stockers. A guy near me put the new version FM springs on his, and while it is a bit lower than stock, mine is a good inch or more lower. BTW, both cars are NA. I used ISC tophats and stockers in front, he used stock all around.
