Gotta convince the wife

[OurP5]

Here is my dilemma. I want to order the Eibach springs from
Protege5online . They are not a bad price and a relatively simple mod to improve the handling of the P5. We bought the P5 because when my wife progresses in her pregancy she will have a car she can easily get in and out of. (she has a 99' Eclipse GS-T). She said that if I lower the car it will defeat the purpose. Does anyone have any good pics of the P5 with the Eibach springs and stock wheels and tires so I can show her that will not be that drastic of a drop. The pic that is on that page is a little dark and from an angle. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

those springs are only going to drop it 1 1/2 inches. you/she won't even notice it...however...it will look better

I know this and you know this and just about evrybody else on the planet knows this but she thinks I'm clueless or am just trying to pull a fast one. (She's not that far off on the clueless part but I'm learning). Still if anyone has pics from good angles they are welcome

Tell her that the extra inch or two will make it better to ease into the car as she gets further along!

This is the best "F"-ing forum ever. I knew I could count on you guys!

One last question.

I know this has probably been posted elsewhere within the board but.....

I was just going to go with the springs for now. Do I need to shocks and struts, too, or can I just go wit the springs and run factory shocks ad struts?

It's not crucial for you to replace your struts...I left my stock ones with my eibach suspension....It feels great!..

hey redwagon02...

what rack is that on your car?? if possible any other details about the rack...i've been looking for one for a while...it's just so much easier to throw the bikes on top and i don't have to worry about getting my interior dirty...

 

[redwagon02]

Thats a full Yakima rack. If you go this route, you'll need the Q102 clips.
