There's a company in America called ground control that make coilovers sleeves and they use eibach springs. I'm pretty sure they do them for 3rd gen Ludes too. They look pretty decent.

Low and slow! Yep I better get a sticker of that.

This car is not for racing..

I am taking inspiration from both Shakotan & Bosozoku styles with a mix of stuff ive always wanted to do to a car but never had the balls.

You just take the top mounts off *use spring compressors* so they don't go flying and hit you and kill you when you loosen the nut.
Then you take the springs out and replace with the sleeve and the new smaller springs, then refit the top mount.
you use the sleeve to set the ride height.
if you want maximum lows don't even fit the sleeve

Depending on how old the shocks are they probably won't last that long either.

Yes the ride will be jobby and bouncy, but if you don't care then theres no problem

Sounds like the voice of experience

@mart609 Thanks mate. You may be on to something re leaving off the sleeve and just go with the spring.
With the new wheels on I have a 4 inch arch gap!!
