Oh i was gonna reply to this earlier and say that so far the only ones that fit are the sprints.. We have tried eibachs and they didnt work, but you will have to tell us how the b+g's work. How much of a drop is it??

I was looking at the Einbach springs they list as fitting the RL. Another 1.5" drop would make for a REALLY low ride. Have any of you guys run into problems and is how is the ride with the new springs?

i was looking at the eibach springs to but they don't fit without modifications. i've had the springs on for almost a week and no problems.

Any pictures and does anyone know the difference in spring rate between the stock springs, sprint springs, and the b&g springs. I would like to see the car lowered. I will be lowering mine in the spring or summer.
