Get in line. I wish I would have bought sprints when I had the chance after I first got my LS. Now it's to late

If anyones serious I have a company lined up prepared to do a 5 person group by. Rear springs would lower the car 1.25" and the front springs would lower the car 1.50". They professionally make custom springs and guarantee them as well as custom spring rates. They quoted me at $340 a pair. So over $600 for the set, but this was before the 5 person group by rate.
Nothing is locked in at this point as far as spring rates or heights but thats what I requested as far as what I'm looking for in lowering springs right now. If we can all agree on a good spring rate/height then were in business. Othewise I'll be saving up for these springs in the next couple months

Lol I know seriously I thought I'd get more interest but I have not. I guess I'll just try and talk them down a bit so I can get a LOWER set of springs than anywhere AVAILABLE for what $600. Not bad for one-off lowering springs. And good luck on that Coilover set up. I come from the slammed/tucked/wrong fitmentcrew crowd and by no means should the LS EVER be put on coilovers.
Buy a bag kit, ditch the idea of even trying to retro-fit coilovers. Unless your 4-500whp and need that static drop for T/A. Which I HIGHLY doubt anyone but Quik is capable of.

You know a brand NEW set of Eibach springs can be had for under $300 shipped to your door right.
i have these already installed and i hate them. they are uneven in the front and i have went to numerous places to measure (even my works alignment rack) and it is lower on the pass side no matter what
consider it a pimp lean

You probably have the spring mounts spaced off of the coil slightly on the driver side, then.
Why anyone would want the hassle of being lower than the Eibach kit is beyond me, though. I already have to creep out of the garage to avoid smacking the ½" concrete lip!
Yep. I have springtechs and not much clearance at all. Speed bumps? I turn around and find another way. There is a hump going in to the local Burger king that I completely bottom out on. So now I just don't go there. which is fine. I need to go on a diet anyways.

My brother has a set of eibachs that a spring company made fully adjustable. It cost him only about $150 over the cost of the Eibach's.

Thats a pretty sweet deal for only 150 more

It's what they do. They make stuff custom. They take the factory specs, and find or make a spring from the thousands that they have to work from, like Eibach, sprint, etc...
Then you tell them what ride hieght you want and bingo.
Depending on what you want will determine the price. Call and ask is all I can say. I am gonna be happy with the regular Eibachs when I get them simply because of the ground effects I am putting on my car, but if I was going lower, these are the guys I would call.
