Lowering springs?
 
I've seen quite a few suspension kits and/or more complete setups posted, but is anyone selling a plain lowering spring setup yet? Obviously TRD will have their setup eventually, but I'm curious about what might already be out there.

df.dima beat me to the RCE link.:happy0180:

You can look-up the 2012 Scion FR-S on Eibach's site, even though everything is listed as "Under Development". Parts listed include Pro-Kit and Sportline lowering springs.

Yeah RCE doesn't list a price or specs yet. :( I shot them an email looking for more info.

Anybody installed the Eibach springs they sell on Tirerack? Experience with those?

This is what I was a bit curious about as well. I know coilovers are typically the way to go for some, but I'd like something simple to just slap on and go.

Coilovers are good and bad! Too many adjustment possibilities for amateurs does not need to end up with a good result. I am after high quality suspension that give me a 1" (+) lower car. I thought maybe those Eibach springs could be a temperary solution to close the gap until Bilstein or others have made a very good system to a good price. I am curious how the stock suspension perform 1" lower down.

A lowering spring question, do lowering springs really mess up the dampeners much? I know they do, but is it enough to negate it or is it where it won't matter "20 years down the road" kind of situation?

Eibach has high quality suspension system for the ride. I have it on my other commute honda car for more than 8 yrs. Car feel solid like a porsche. I like the eibach sportline red spring. Look very sporty in red which perfectly match the red trim stichy seats. I would get it as soon as I receive my 86. A complete would be any future after market red brakes too :)
