Lowering Springs

I drive a 2004 GP GT, and I'm looking for lowering springs for it. Eibach made some for it but it appears as they have been discontinued.

So my question is, does anyone here know of another reputable company that manufactures lowering springs for 04+ Grand Prixs? I found one manufacturer called Sprint that appears to make a similar product to the Pro-Kit springs from Eibach, but I am not familiar with the Sprint brand...Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 


eibachs are seriously discontinued? if youre looking for similar spring i would go with B&G then. i have eibachs and love them.

SSC suck..dont lower enough AND ride harsh. weak sauce.
 
nice or not low enough? :p

id love to drop my car on some intrax. here is another guys car on them (from clubgp):

Well, oddly enough, the Eibach springs for '97-'03 are still widely available. They have only discontinued '04+. I'm not looking for a major drop...just want to reduce the fender well gap...the second pic you posted is perfect...exactly what I'm looking for, but Eibach is a no go for that.

says who? i will put this out there for anyone looking at drop springs:

THE DROP RATE THAT IS ADVERTISED IS ALWAYS WRONG!! EVERY SPRING MANUFACTURER IS WRONG!!

eibachs advertise a 1.3" drop. my car is pretty close to 2" lower.

vogtlands say they drop about .8", but really it is closer to 1" or so.

intrax advertise 1.7" drop, but they are damn near 3" slamming the car.

SSC advertise about a 1.8" drop, but i dont really believe it because i have a friend with them and my car is lower than his.

no way. I was disappointed in mine, and kind of pissed how they look almost stock. Ill be getting new ones in summer.

Im about to get some intrax, that looks sick.

I must beg to differ, I think the SSC's lowered my quite nicely. These pictures of my old 98GT with the KYB GR2's and SSC Gen II springs.

Here is how the car looked just after I installed the setup. It was riding pretty high for about a week or two.

But after about a month I took these shots. She settled down quite nicely I think. The wheels in this picutre are just 17". I know when I put on my 16" stock rims it doesnt look as lowered due to the difference in wheel size.

I have yet to take good pictures of my GTX that is now fully lowered with my AGX and SSC Gen II setup. But it lowered it nicely. If it stops raining for more than one day I will try and grab some pics for ya.

that is not nearly low enough for me. i would rather buy vogtlands than those springs now if i ever change my springs.
 
The only thing i really dislike about the ssc gen II's is, it's alot higher in the rear than the front, and i asked for them to be even wheel gapped. They ride ok but, if im going to have a shi* ride anyway id rather be lower.
 


I lowered mine with SSC springs and KYB AGX adjustable struts and im sitting on 20s. It sits perfect and hands awsome.
 
here's some reference for the drop the ssc's make on the 04+.
First car is Dboy23's and he has 18's
