The Eibach's will end up giving about a 1.4 inch drop up front and 1.2 inch in the back according to Tire Rack.
BUT JUST TO BE CLEAR, I'm not getting Eibach's for this suspension swap. It sounded like some of you thought I was and while I wish I was, I'm not.
Additionally, I seem to have gotten myself into a mini financial crisis (can I get a bailout?). I found out that I forgot to order strut bellows for my swap, and two of mine are torn anyways. So I'll have to wait to do the suspension swap until those come in, which means that it might not be done before I go out of town next weekend with 4 other people in my car. Oh great. Let's hope that I can get to it on Wednesday, and that it gets completely done, along with getting it in the shop for an alignment.
Time for some positive updates!
I got my springs in just before the weekend, some Tanabe DF210's from another member here. They'll give me not quite a 2 inch drop up front, so it is lower than I wanted, but I did need springs ASAP and these were cheap. Oops....
I also convinced my roommate to pick up my brake calipers in the Cities this weekend, and they are slightly corroded. So I'm planning on sanding them down and painting them red in the next day or two. My rotors and pads also came in yesterday, along with my endlinks on Monday. So this is what my room looks like right now: flooded with car parts.
Needless to say, I need a garage when I move in August.
And it was a busy weekend for Ozzie. Homecoming was here, and I drove him hard almost 400 miles in 3 days. It was not good, and my brakes kept getting louder and louder as the nights wore on, and sadly it wasn't a particularly profitable weekend either. On top of that, Friday night just before close one of out driver's cars was stolen from the store! Some totally trashed blond bomshell decided she needed a ride and just took it since he left the keys inside. Ozzie and I were the ones to find it, completely unharmed, at 5:30 AM. She even left her debit card and driver's license on the front seat, blinker on, keys still in the ignition, and the car top still on. So I would consider Ozzie a hero for that, and the guy will not shut up about how glad he is that I found it.
So that was basically my weekend in a nutshell. Super crazy, but I'm glad it's over. And now I have to wait and rush my repairs on my car. Looks like I'll be busy for a while...
