Nice benefit for sure but when I am looking at a suspension upgrade for my performance car the fuel mileage is the last on my list of must haves. Any actual performance benefits with this kit? Or is that why we are talking about fuel mileage?

I'm ordering the springs to lawer mine an inch+ mainly for cosmetic purposes and a little handling benefit. Do these springs lower the car much?

How much?

I had lowered many of my cars before but I never heard of increasing gas mileage being one of the benefit...
I'm skeptical about their claim unless it's proven by a third party.

1" in the rear and the front to be exact.

Will these work for the LT models or is this only for SS models?

I was looking for a new suspension mostly to lower mine 1" as well. This might be a good option. I would like to hear/see some real world examples. The claim on saving gas was because it drops an inch. If so then Pedders or Pfadt would do the same ?

How long should the factory shocks/struts be expected to last with just a drop from springs? I know 1 inch isnt too hard on them, but more I'd expect them to go bad with in a year or two. The reason I ask is because on cavaliers and cobalts at least, the shocks dont last for much longer than a year or two with just a spring drop.

How come the Eibach are so much cheaper than the Hotchkis kits?

Thats interesting, I didn't think of that scenario.

I have been checking into this system, and it appears they are out of the springs right now. Do you have them in stock and how much. PM please.
