Monte lowering.

[New3ra]

Looking to lower the car about 2 inches all around i want it to sit low, I was gonna cut the springs but that seems just plain hacked and unsafe. Any other ideas? It seems the Eibach pro kit just doesnt have a big enough drop.

You can get the eibach springs and cut a 1/2 loop off of them. As long as you install new shocks it will be fine.

Front and rears? you think its safe? and as for shocks what should I use I like the KYB gas but can I use replacment kyb monte or do I have to get diffrent ones?

ouch aint cheap, do I have to go changing all 4, or just rear?

what if use just KYB's?

well if you want quality and handling you have to pay for it. bilstein makes some of the best shocks in the world.

you are gonna want to do all 4 shocks.
kyb's work but they are cheap and wear out pretty quick. i have them in my vw and they handled well at the beginning but after 6 months the handling started to degrade..

being on a budget with no job for now I might have to go KYB until I can upgrade to the bilstein's, But the springs im gonna order, so cut half a loop on each? thing it'll be ok? why not just do it to my stocks?

I cut my stock springs, 1 1/2 off the front and 1 full off the rear. This is only temparary as i am going to be putting air ride on my car. Also this made the front extremly low so i had to modify the frame just above the lower control arm so it wouldnt bottom out, it rides the same as it did before i lowered it because i made sure it still has suspension travel.
