hi guys,, i m running 225/40/18 on my 3 hatchback, I wanna lower it by 1-1.5" ,, i know prokits and Tien r the popular choice, Any suggestions as to which ones r better? Wat would b a good ride height for my wheels? Tien's site lists 1" Front and 0.6" rear for Speed 3; which i believe has similar size wheels as mine..thanks

Do you have a speed3 or a regular 3? Cause I'm fairly certain there are two different parts. Not sure about the tiens but I know there are two different springs with the prokits.

He doesn't have a speed .... On his profile it says he drives a hatch back GT

I have the eibach pro kits and I got not complaints with it... It will also give the drop your looking for

Speed3 is heaver than a regular 3. So don't look at any parts for a speed3, unless you want your car to raise instead of lower
