Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

Which brand did you buy ?

I dont know exactly what brand i bought. This was late 06 and i forgotten now. i will check into it and let you all know so that way you can watch out. I am stuck dropping 500 in tires now cause it really messed up my camber and ate the tires bad. But its all straightened out now... As soon as i get my digital back i will take pics and let you all see it.

Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

in this boards expert experience would you go with Spring Springs or CM Springs because i cant find the Eibach pros anywhere

Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

I also dropped my ride recently with cms an not sure it was a good idea, I really like the drop height but it was suspsoe to be 1.5 it looks maybe like it went 2 or so ..now my rear camber is off aswell as the front but not nearly as bad.. feels like Im going to run into probelms having to rotate offten.. Im also having a issue somtimes if Im turning an I accellerate my ass end feels like it jitters, basicly dont feel smooth as it was before,, I had the springs put in professionally an aligend aswell, the other thing is I put some semi bald tires on the back they were on the front for 13k without rotation so at first I thought reason Im gettin that speed waddle is cus of treads on the back now since I rotated them after the springs .. Now Im feeling like it because of the rear camber being more off then it should be.. I have been looking for a way to fix the camber but there are no rear camber kits for g6 that I can find ... if anyone knows be great to post some info.. trying to fix out where my overall smooth ride went, I do hang corners nice , just went I hit the peddle I can feel it =/ best way I can describe the feel is like as if the rims were warped but once I lay off the peddle it stops an car drives normal .. pretty odd

Re: Lowered Rides...Pics w/ reviews.

Place of Purchase: Stillen
Brand: Eibach Pro
Front Lower height: 1.5 inch
Back Lower height: 1.7 inch
Price: $ see Stillen Webpage. + cost of installation + cost of alignment
Camber affect: Front: neglibible. Rear: -2 and -1.6
Short review (likes, dislikes, and how the ride was affected): You will immediately notice a difference in ride quality. The roll is significantly diminished and thus cornering is much sharper. You really feel the road better with this lowering kit. For those who want a luxery car smooth ride, this kit is not for you. You can feel and hear the road bumps (especially with 35 profile tires). The other thing to be careful of when lowering your ride (especially if you have a body kit like Razzi) is uneven driving surfaces such as driveway entries because you can definately catch the edge. That scraping sound is painful to the ears.
Would you do it different?: Definately not.

Before (225/40/19)


After (225/40/19 + Eibach Pro + Razzi)

Damn, that looks frickin sweet! So did you have any rubbing issues with the rims and tires since you got 19's?? (Not the rubbing with the body kit) because I got 20's on mine with 235/35/r20 tires and I was thinking about lowering it but was unsure about the rubbing... opcorn:
