Eibach Springs

I want to lower my daily driver. However they do not produce a kit for my 05 4 Cyl. sebring. However they do make one for the 6 cyl. Will this one work on my car?

dont waste your money on lowering a sebring, ITS A SEBRING!!!! come on, its a daily driver for a reason, so you never have to put money into it unless its a necessity, save that couple hundred for nice springs for the Z.

Exactly. That is why I drive a POS Geo Metro to work and back... cheap, 50mpg, and I don't have to work on it very often. I don't want to spend time or money on my dd (other than to keep it running). My time goes to my project cars.

Haha. Geo Metro huh? That is interesting. Me and my friends were riding around yesterday and seen a guy pass us in a prius. And we said he looked like the kind of guy who had a 600+ horsepower car at home. lol.

yeah... now that judgement right there is the exact thing NO ONE OUT OF HIGHSCHOOL thinks to themselves, i see some guy in a sebring i think he takes it in the *** everynight (seriously im not trying to be a dick) some chick, i say typical, now a guy in a lowered sebring with a fart can i go, theres a guy that that takes it in the *** every night and has no taste at the same time. lol. also, the PT cruiser came with a turbo option at least and so did probes. lol.

^^^You have never ridden in a car with Eibachs have you? They are very comfortable...I have them on my Galant. I had coils and THEY were very bouncy. For the kid with the Sebring, I think the suspension on your car coincides with the Galants of the same year. Not 100% but, I know with my car, the Eclipse and the Avenger (sebring) have the same suspension. So see if those cars have the same setup and that opens up another door for parts. Good luck, and its your car and money...do what you want

Snw- No way in hell am I gay. I just like certain stuff and if I have a sebring that i daily drive and want to do minor changes to then that is that. And screw a turbo pt cruiser and probe. Cause if you drive and think a pt is cool your gay. And if you drive a probe your gay cause you think about how you get probed in the a@# everynight and the car reminds you of that.

My 87' 300ZX Turbo has Tokico Illuminas and Eibach's all around. The previous owner also redid the bushings, etc. The car handles really well, but even with the tokicos on the softest setting the thing does ride hard. It's exactly like snw said crappy roades become really crappy and you feel it. I have to slow down because it feels like it's going to rattle the hell out of my car. I don't know if having a softer strut would help though?

Why are you going to waste money on a Sebring, you can put one million dollars into the thing and at the end of the day its still a gay Sebring.

lol lol lol ^^^^^^



and dont get angry or anything, we dont think your gay, a 05 sebring is a chick car but not bad for a daily driver, but once you start putting money in it other than maybe a better stereo (even then i wouldnt go overboard) and upkeeping it, then stuff starts getting gay all around haha.
