Springs

mrkarin · Dec 23, 2012

hello guys, i have a 1995 eagle talon ESI with Sportline springs from eibach.. with 17" wheels. my car its super low!

i noticed that my struts are bad, i took them out the other day and i put them upside down and push it all the way in.. and the oil started coming out.

i would like to know if the struts can lower more my car? im just tired of hitting on every bump on the street.

i heard that those Sportline springs lower my car 2"+ is that true??

i bought the set of coilovers from ebay (big mistake) but compared to the sportline springs the coilovers are lower even though i set the sleeves all the way up

any suggestions to raise my car a little bit? maybe the wheels are too big? or something.

if not im going to have to buy the factory springs :ohdamn:

I'll sell you my gsx springs LOL

Seriously though, buy yourself a set of nice struts. You won't regret it.
Tokico blue+ eiback prokit is my setup. It actually rides pretty good, and the ride height isn't retarded.

Care to post a pic showing height?

Koni Yellows, Eibach Pro-Kit, and new upper and lower strut hardware. That will get you the best ride at a somewhat fair price.

Could be worse, but man that is low. It could look like it's got a lift, like mine does..

P.S. Grammar/spelling is important. :thumb:

blown struts will just cause a bouncy ride not lower it.. your sleevesa and springs will determine ride height

northernawd · Dec 24, 2012

lowering with struts will cause the struts to wear out faster, coilovers are the way to go!

thank you guys for the suggestions. i think i'm going to buy the pro-kit and a good set of struts. the sportline springs are way too low.. thank you guys MERRY CHRISTMAS

That's just how low Sportline springs are. Your car is actually a bit higher than the majority of Sportline owners I've seen.

If your looking to replace both the struts and springs, I would suggest the Tokico HPK kit over any other lowering spring and OEM shock combo. You can actually get the Tokico kit for cheaper that a Pro-Kit with decent OEM shocks. Ride height is low, but still reasonable.

HPK Kit: Tokico HPK Spring and Shock Kit (Mitsubishi DSM 1995 - 1999) - Modern Automotive Performance

(18" rims, but same overall diameter as stock)

What's your budget? You could go with Koni Yellow's and the Pro Kit, Or a Tokico HP Blue's with the pro kit :thumb:

Anything ebay is a no no.

Tis a bit snowy, but that's a prokit on blues.

mrkarin · Dec 26, 2012

i'm going to have in mind the tokico and the pro-kit but thats going to have to wait because i got hit by a stupid guy with this old nissan.

thank you guys for the replies!
