I thought about getting this 2/3 Eibach kit from this site, looks like it's on sale for $251 shipped which seems to be a pretty good price.

Should it hurt the ride of my Tahoe with 24's? Just looking for a cheap lowering kit without the $600+ price tags. How much should it cost to have it installed? Thanks for looking.

Thanks,

I have the sway bar kit, good quality, I would assume the drop kits to be just as good.

i would add shock extenders esp with 3 inch drop in rear.


IM looking there says like 278.95 shipped? if thats the case and you only want to do the springs and no shock extenders i can beat it and do the djm 2/3 kit also dont run the isolators in rear you will get more out of it.

rear takes about 20 minutes front about 1 to 1.5 hours

btw the 07 ups with drop springs front struts go out extremly fast. I just want to put that up there. ive done 13 07 ups with 2 inch front drop springs and struts go out anywhere between 2800 miles to 12300 on teh ones ive done adn its allways 1 side or another lol.

The spring kit is $278.95
He could get new Belltech spindles for $259 the purchase a set of used rear 3" springs for $100. To me the spindles are worth a little more $.

yah i got a deal on the belltech spindles also and then in rear use the qa1 12-400 and call it good. qa1s are like 39 bucks each spring. 12-400 i would get shock extenders for though.

honestly if he wants to do a 2/3 with no shock extenders just for now thats fine. Rear later on he can buy shock extenders and new shocks and front belltech drop spindles and drop struts with stock spring.

belltech drop struts with stock spring i like much better than drop springs on stock struts.

Good suggestion, he could take my Pedders rear 3" kit if he wanted.
BTW DW I will say something nobody here has said yet, the Eibach kit ride dam good but the drop SUCKS!!!
Your front drop wold be like 1.5", and the back will be about 2" MAX!!
Here is proof, this car has the Eibach kit, does it even look lowered?http://www.absolutmotorcars.com/use...t-Tahoe/a1f04bc8404638b501c60f742ce60562.htm#
