Had my '03 9C1 for 4yrs now, still love it. Like to keep the steelie wheels, what would be reasonable choices for tire size, struts, springs to lower it 1.5"-2" and firm up the ride a little? Eibach didn't have a kit listed on their website. Stock tie size is 225/60/16...any thoghts on the Kumho Ecsta PA31?

Not any suggestions? Bury me back at the end of the 2nd page without any replies? Where's the love?

I looked around a little for some stuff. For springs it looks like Vogtland, and ZZPerformance, and saw someone mention eibachs but was unabel to find anything.

Looks like KYB make shocks, I found mention of bilsteins in an old thread, OP mentioned he had to contact bilstein for fitment.

ZZP has sways

Id look into what ZZPerformance has, they seem pretty up on the 3.8 FWD platforms, they did push one into the 8s, FWD and all.

Not many good choices for struts on a w-body. Some guys were experimenting with bilstiens from the grand prix gxp but I'm not sure you can get them anymore and they where $$$ a couple years ago. A couple guys built some custom coil overs with bilstien inserts as well. There are a couple w-body specific forums with quality info but a lot of stupidity happens there. The attitudes are bad in all of them.

Yeah, I checked a little on a few of the other forums, but they gave me a headache..
