Lowering Springs Pros and Cons

[Green S/T]

Thanks. No towing for me. Have Tahoe Limited and Q7 for that

H&R and Lethal are the best options if you don’t heavy tow. Steeds keeps the rake so better for towing.

You forgot Eibachs

Eibachs reputation proceeds them but they just were released so they slipped my mind.

Im looking at the Eibachs, anyone have them and can offer any pros and cons here?

I just received my eibach springs today. Going to attempt to install them in my garage soon.

Who did you order from? I bought it from Lethal a few weeks ago and they are on backorder until the end of the month (or so they say)!

Eibach’s sit level. Only Steeda keeps the rake.

can springs be powder coated or does the flexing or heat involved in the process make it not work

I think people have done it quite a few times.

Just installed H&R's on a new 2023 ST a few weeks ago. The rears ended up sitting about 3/4" higher than the fronts. I like a little rake.

Hopefully they settle because the rear is a little high for H&Rs. Looks great either way though.

I've been reading a ton of threads lately about various enhancements and I've seen more than once mention of Steeda products rusting - primarily springs and the sway bar. Does anyone know if Steeda has done anything to rectify this issue? I've seen mentioned that they have a good record of replacing parts that corrode quickly, but I'd much rather them apply a coating that doesn't rust as easily.

No, there has been no change in how they cost their products.

Conjecture? I noticed the springs are now coded with a date and a version. There is a slight difference in the coiling but not sure if this represents a change in design or manufacturer or normal production variation.

I might be wrong here but I think that they revised the spring design.

For those that have installed the Steeda Springs, did you keep the Front Springs with the Writting upright ? Have seen on some of the install videos that others have mentioned that with other Brands they fit best when the writting was upside down on the front springs?
