    Depending on the mileage and shape of them it "could be" a great buy.

    It Sounds Like They Are Good Springs. And I Want Them Bad, Cuz The Previous Owner Of My Car, Cut The Springs And When On the Freeway The Car Shakes Horribly. Do The Springs Lower/Raise Any Inches? If So, How Much?
    -Thanks!

    it depends on what product line of Eibachs you're looking at... the pro kit supposedly lowers 1.0 to 1.5 inches, while the sportlines (the springs ryan has on his vert) supposedly lower the car 1.5 to 2.0 inches, find out which they are before you buy so you know what you're getting yourself into... too low means scraping on speedbumps and driveways (especially if you have longtube headers), and rack limiters to stop your front tires from rubbing at full lock

    I Checked The Item Again And Its The Pro Kit And It Says It Lowers The front By 1.2 Inches And the rear 1.0. I Have That Problem right Now, My Car Has Long tube Hearders And I Just hate Going Over Speed Bumps, but i recently got my pony rims again and it raised it enough so the long tubes don't scrape. Heres the Ling If You Want To Check It Out.

    well. it lowered the rear of my car 3.5" lol it was sitting like a monter 4*4 after 5 lug swap with the 17 inch tires. fronts i dont know yet. be expecting for it to drop it about a half inch to an inch lower then they say. and by all means LEAVE the isolaters in there. if you dont it will drop it atleast another inch.

    The Ebays One Do Sound Good Too, And For that Price It's Worth It, But IDK Bout The 29.99 Shipping And Handling And I Like Need'em. Thank You For Showing Them I'll Consider Those As Well Just Have To Get Past The 29.99. Thanks For The Tip On Leaving The Isolators On, I Don't Want My Car To Be Lowered That Much. Would there Any Ride Diff With/without the Isolators. Oh And Very Clean '01!:nice:

    I don't think they are much more new!! Hmm...I sold some STeedas on Ebay for like 118 bucks plus shipping. Those were like 214 new. I'd offer him 100 or 125.
