Hello everyone name is chris. I am posting this and wanted to know if the eibach springs for a 2002 sc2 are good and if they have any flaws and the ride condtion is well. If u could plz let me know cuz i want to low my car this coming spring and wanted to know about the springs. Thank you and u all have a great christmas and new year,

 

Anytime you change out the springs to make the ride 'lower', you run the risk of "high centering" your car at a grade crossing. Personally, all cars with a lower ride setting feel like I'm sliding downhill on a corncob ..... my opinion

 

Eibach's are the best choice for a Saturn S-car for overall ride and performance.

 

thank u very much

 

I have had some experiance lowering coil spring cars by cutting coils out. A half a coil drops about 1 1/2 inch and naturally stiffens the suspension up so that the ride does not change that much and the car does not bottom out on the bump stops.
But
never tried it on a Saturn or anything with a Strut front suspension.
But before I bought new springs, I would! Just because I can.

 

Don't cut S-Cars springs unless you realy do not care about ride and handling

====================
been hearing that for years, still haven't found it to be true.

 

Only poor people and rednecks cut springs. Do it right the first time. Go buy some springs and be happy. This way you only have to take it apart once.

While this is an opinion, and every one is welcome to theirs, it is also a refreshing lack of knowledge.
As said before, cutting coils both lowers and stiffens the spring. Both of which are required to keep something from riding on the bump stops. As in all modificatiions a little knowledge assists in doing something with in reason, if that is the ojective. If the objectivie is not reason, knowledge is not important. Basice rule of thumb, 1 turn = 3 inches. Will very as a function of spring design as does effectivity.
Never had to do it twice, nor spend money needlessly. Some spring designs can not be cut effectively.

 

I'll say it again, just in case someone thinks we are talking about something other then an S-Saturn
