WTB: Springs for BRZ

[xaviwala]

I am looking to buy springs for the BRZ with 1 inch drop.

I am pretty new to this so not sure what the best option would be since I have an aggressive offset.
I have heard of Eibach Pro as a good option. PM or reply if you have any for sale. Thanks!

If you're only looking for an inch drop, Eibach Pro Kit or H&R Sport would do the trick. Maybe Tein H-Tech.

Eibach Sportline and Tein S-Tech are closer to a 1.5 inch drop which may be too much for you.

What's your wheel set up?

If you're looking for a 1 inch drop you might as well just add some weight to the car and call it a day. Not worth it IMO to pay $600-700 for some springs for basically oem height

What springs cost that much? Afaik, most all springs, with the exception of RCE are under $400. If you don't know what you're talking about, best to not say anything.

And you get a firmer ride, bit better handling and it looks better. But hey, what do I know? I paid about $500 for springs and LCAs, which is still less than the random numbers you're throwing around.

OP mentions aggressive offset wheels and next someone posts 1" drop is a waste of money. I sense a slammed and stance or go home thread forming lol

Add in labor as well. I was assuming OP wont be installing them.

edit: for brand new springs lets say $250 USD or $325 CAD + 2 hrs install (if not more) @$90 puts you at ~$500. Lets add in an allignment also to properly adjust everything for the lower height for another $100 puts you at $600. Oh lets add tax of 13% too for the total around $700. Of course if hes talking about buying used and doing it DIY then a lot less. Otherwise my numbers arent so "random"

hanks for all the replies.

My wheel set up is 225 45 18*8.5 with 33 offset in the front!
and 245 35 18*8.5 in the back with 15 offset! As you can tell I have a lot of poke in the back.

I am wondering if a 1 inch drop would be okay to do without adjusting any other suspension parts (camber arm, or coilovers etc.) If you can help me out, please let me know!

I can get the Eibach Springs and set up done for $500 including alignment and taxes. All I am hoping for is to find some used springs.

Thanks for your help!

I just had springs installed this week. $300 for parts, $200 for labour, $100 for alignment. So you're not wrong.

I would just take that deal. You're not going to save much by getting used springs, if you can even find a set (I was looking for 3+ weeks; couldn't find any so I gave up and just bought new) and if that $500 includes the alignment and taxes, you're already $100 ahead of what I paid.
