Lowering springs and ICW rims (Question)

Lowering springs and ICW rims (Question)

If I go for a 1.1" drop using Eibach's pro-kit and putting on 17" ICW Racing Trident 786H rims on my 04 silver corolla would that look good? I heard that the Eibach springs provide a little bit of lowering but it rides almost like stock. I don't plan to drop it any lower like using Tein springs...

Also, I've read up on posts about people adding strut bars, changing struts, and adding coilovers. I don't plan to do any of that stuff... I just plan to get the rims and lower the car. Is that fine or would I have to have those things too?? I'm asking cuz I don't want any damage to the car in the future or in the long run.

Finally, would I have to worry about shocks blowing and other misc problems in the future if I do this? I'm asking because I read up in some places where people have the new springs in for 6-8 mths and their shocks blew... I thought they would last till the car dies.. but I think that was because the people were dropping the car lower like using Tein springs rather than Eibach? I'm not sure... please clarify for me!

Thanks

first off Teins dont slam your car... the S-techs are low (almost 3") buy the H-techs are about a 1.5" drop. The setup your talking about will look pretty good IMO, annd no you dont NEED strut bars or coilovers but it will help if you want to tighten up the suspension in the future.

Your shocks should last you a long time because it only a 1" drop... shorter life span than if the springs were stock, but wont go out anytime soon. they go out real quick when you slam the car like 4" or so... where its on the ground.

In my opinion Teins are better than Eibach and cost a little less. Look into the H-Tech springs if you want to compare. Im running S-Tech and my car still isnt low enough in my opinion, but everyones different. Hope this helps.

look at my cardomin page i have 17"icw talons with a 1.8 inch drop
