Please do... cause you could have just purchased lowering springs or a coil over set seeing as how the Ferrari setup is just basically a user adjustable system. Personally I wouldn't see the benefit of using just the springs, unless somehow the ride quality is better, but typically once you lower past stock suspension ride quality goes with it.

But let us know... and how much did you pay for them?

Pic's of spring setup first, but I think you got ripped on this deal. Till I get pic's of what was done on the springs I will not say for sure.

LOL What ended up happening was the shop fitted the side skirts too low, so I only had 2" of clearance.

and yes, $3500 was the kit fitment, the kit, the paint, the springs, install and 4 wheel alignment.

So I took it to a friend of a friend's shop (he's very reputable in my city). We tried to raise the car but the springs that's in the car's too short

(I have GC sleeves with the red eibach springs on Koni Yellow)

He ended up being able to get a set of rear springs that came out of an F355, and we put them in the GC sleeve system. the diameter fit in, and also gave me an extra 3 inches of adjustment over the old springs.

I don't have pics 'cuz i don't feel like ridin my car up 2X4s to jack it up just to take pictures, but I did noticed a significant increase in ride quality and control. It's a heck of a lot better =)

The cost actuall came out to about $3650 total, but I'm not complaining =p

If anyone here's from Vancouver, then you'd know how difficult it is to get parts and service and work done for J-bodies.......we're all civics and germans here. =p

still somewhat confused! anyone else?



Re: And $3500 later....

I'm very confused! I guess that it's a spring manufacturer? Maybe? Cause I doubt actual Ferrari springs fit on a J...I could be wrong.

like I said.

Springs came out of a F355.

just the springs.

The guy who owned the ferrari wanted new shocks, but ended up swapping out the whole unit.

ok well im still confused outta my mind... i donno whether to call bs or believe you... id talk to your "buddy" and find out if hes just bsing you or if they actually did come outta a ferrari... which i highly doubt

but non the less the car looks awesome...

I've checked the history of it by comparing part numbers and invoice


To be honest, regardless whether or not they are, they have made a significant improvemnt to my ride and handling compared to the Eibachs.

And it's pretty hard to top Eibachs for a mere $75.

but thank you =) I love the new look of my car

Whats so hard to understand he sayed the springs came out of a F355 seems pretty straight forward. I mean whether they came out of a F355 I have no idea and I'm not saying they did or didn't
