Default Front end sits high

OK...1998 240SX...SR20DET engine....front end sits high...now it has gotten on my nerves (as well as needing suspension)...so...any ideas of spring combos to bring the front end down and keep the back fairly stock riding height....without going to coilovers...and the springs need to be matched (as far as rates go)...

you got a torch, dont ya?


hahahahaha

tein S-techs are really cheap and will lower it a bit. i like the eibach sportlines, myself. they give the car a somewhat aggressive stance and the ride is pretty decent.

give us a call, man, im sure we can hook it up. plus i miss your voice with all your tech questions, lol.

A torch or angle grinder can help you. Even with my Eibachs (on a 92) the front sits a bit higher than the rear. Keep in mind that the only way the car is going to sit perfectly level is with coilovers or with a coil removed from even the lowering springs. All the lowering springs did to mine is make it lower overall, but the front was still higher than the back (since it has all 4 eibach springs installed). Removing a coil is going to adversly affect ride quality and since I've gone the cheapo route (for a week on other cars), I wouldn't reccomend it unless the car is a pure trailer queen show car. Ajustable coilovers will let you dial in your front ride height just right.

I thought sets of 4 springs come with two different drop heights? Like if your lowering the car 2" it will come with 2" for the front and like 1.5" for the back??
