lowest dropped 1G, how low can you go??? Options

[SCCA Stang]

what is the lowest dropped 1G eclipse anyone here has had that is still streetable and racable???

I am purchasing springs for my car and I have had people tell me that I can 2.5" without problems but I have never lowered a car that far before.

not that I dont believe the people I have asked, I am just taking a general consensus.

I attribute most of this to the crappy Intrax springs (no offense, Travis...I love the shocks ). The springs are just too darn low and loose. I'll be buying some stiffer not soo low Eibach prokits before too long.

Uh oh. Yeah, I thought the intrax springs 'looked' nice at the ride height but hadn't had a chance to drive on them. I assumed that something with the 2+ inch drop would have been stiff enough to make up for it in spring rate but it sounds like that's not the case.

Ironicly that car (with those shocks on it) was the shop car for www.engineered.net (I think, have the find the card somewhere).

Seems like a steep price though for just the shocks if the springs are that crappy. I'll help you sell them off via the website or trader when you replace them or buy them back for what you think is a fair price if you like.
