02V8Sport March 2nd, 2008, 07:35 AM Go with Sprint springs, you can usually find them on Ebay for $150, they are the best bang for the buck.

JERSEYLINCOLNKING March 2nd, 2008, 12:31 PM hey thanks for the input i like the fact that they are 175 drop instead of 1,how is the ride compared to stock with stock wheels
GWL March 2nd, 2008, 03:20 PM hey thanks for the input i like the fact that they are 175 drop instead of 1,how is the ride compared to stock with stock wheelsBe careful of advertised drop. My Eibach were advertised at 1" but actually dropped the car 1.3". I have to be very cautious when approaching things like speed bumps, and driveways.
Z'sLS March 2nd, 2008, 05:20 PM I have the sprint springs and like them alot.... You have to take it a little easy on speedbumps and such.
NickT88LSC March 3rd, 2008, 09:08 AM I have Sprints and you have to be contious while driving, can bottom out on speed bumps, oh and with my Mach 1 spoiler it makes a real good snow plow anything above 3-4 inches, the ice is a bitch though :)
SilverLS March 3rd, 2008, 09:24 AM Lol at the mach one snow plow....
Well I can tell you that here in FL the speed bumps(MOUNTAINS) I bottom out as it is and I still have not lowered mine, (i will soon though) so you just gotta understand that the car will not have much ground clearance anymore so take that into consideration when thinking about how low you wanna go.
Are there alot of speed bumps in your daily adventure?, are there alot of steep driveways into business and homes? just think about it you dont wanna make the ls no fun to drive (which would be hard).....

I fully agree. The Eibach's are MORE than enough drop for me. Still very good ride quality, but the drop is more than enough.
NYC LS8 March 3rd, 2008, 12:19 PM I fully agree. The Eibach's are MORE than enough drop for me. Still very good ride quality, but the drop is more than enough.
I agree. My car looks much lower than their advertised drop.
JERSEYLINCOLNKING March 3rd, 2008, 11:35 PM so u guys think i should go for eibachs or sprints,and nycls8 i love ur car,it looks so nice
Machspeed March 4th, 2008, 01:27 PM I've thought from time to time about dropping my 06, as I really like the look. However, in stock form I've bottomed it out over a good speed bump. With that in mind, there is something to be said regarding the statement, "form follows function".

MMAFIGHTER121 March 6th, 2008, 10:04 AM Someone already used intrax on there LS
who? cuz i was goin with it as an expririment cuz i didn't really like the look of the eibachs and sprints were too low for my taste... so if could see what i was getting myself into that'd be cool
