Question about lowering sprigs

[mitch26753]

i have a 96 awd. when i bought it the kid said it had a "Eibach pro kit" i just believed him. I got to looking though the two front springs are blue and the backs are black? arent the eibachs black? do you think he mixed springs or what? is there any kit that is like this

also the car was said that it was lowered four inches thats what made me look at them because i know no lowering spring has four inches of drop unless its a coilover? the car only looks like its lowered about 2 inches though

Yes the eibach are black and the blue ones i am not sure, but it could be tokico. 4" of lowering thats way too much. Are your tires inside the fender?

The blue ones could be Tokico's, however the older models. A friend of mine bought them years back for his dsm; but I am not sure about the drop height. The blacks ones are for Eibachs for sure. Moreover, a four inch drop sounds a little to much for springs and personally I have never seen any springs for dsm's that offer a 4 inch drop.

The blue front springs you have might be the springs that come with the Tokico HP "blue" shocks. I used to have those blue springs on my car but I eventually replaced them with Tein S-Tech's. Also note if your blue springs are in fact Tokico's they should lower the car about 2 inches. Definitely not 4 inches.

I'll try and take a picture of my old Tokico springs when I get a chance so you can compare them to the front springs you have.
