Dinan springs are the go choice for OEM+ ride and comfort. Drawback is the lowering is not very dramatic. There's pretty good thread in the first page of the forum that has pics and feedback from owners with Dinan springs.

The problem with lowering is not so much the springs in the front as it is with the air bags in the rear.. They can get bouncy really quick if it sits too low. I experienced that first hand with leaky bags and rode on it for a lil bit when it sat all the way down. So your constraint is the rear more so than the front. I would check out blown99 thread on the H&R VFT measurements so you get an idea.

As someone else above stated - Dinan will ride the best but the ride height difference will be very minimal - 5/8" front, 3/4" in the rear. Unless you are a DIY'er and can install the springs yourself, it's going to be pretty costly for such a small change (springs are $290 + tax/shipping, cost of install, & alignment).
If you read around the forum the general consensus seems to be... spend the $ for coilovers and do it right the first time. Most of the other options lead to noticeably diminished ride quality. |

Hi I love all your mods especially the front lip, rear spoiler and side skirts. Would you be able to share where you purchased these? Thanks!
I also just purchased the Eibach pro kit with Bilstein B4s on your recommendation and the pics of your car! Much appreciated! Last edited by kbalante; 03-06-2024 at 11:53 PM.. |
