[QUOTE="PhaidOut, post: 12221238, member: 128676"] Congrats! Just some info on the springs and lowering.... Probably getting a little technical here. 03/04 are different (or should be...) than 99/01; due mainly to weight differences which means they need different spring rates. (03/04 = iron block v Aluminum in 99/01 +supercharger +incidentals.) I don't know what that really comes out to in the real world but I have never seen them listed as the same for 99/01. Also Coupe v Convertible are different spring rates. Will your friends fit? Sure. Will they work? I do believe so. Will they work the way you want them to? Not so sure on that; but they will not give you the same results as in an 03/04 car. Ride height in the front might be off for example. I picked up a brand new set of Eibach from another user here this spring for my 01 coupe. There are sets out there. They are also on the shelves of various online sellers... With that many miles I would recommend a little caution too. Have the bushings been upgraded in your IRS? My 20k car needs them bad and I have put off lowering it for that reason... In my opinion Full Tilt Boogie's setup is the way to go on those but there are other opinions as well. They should probably be upgraded up front as well, but it isn't as important. [/QUOTE]
