I think making my ride like that would cause some serious internal damage to my organs with the roads around wisconsin. As it is I second guess driving the Crossfire instead of the Saturn to work.


Andrew, where did you end up getting the clear front side lens. I know there are a few posts about this, but last I heard it was around $100 through a company in Europe. Was hoping for cheaper and from US.

car still has the ride of stock crossfire...just a lower ride height.

ctd-germany.com is the only place to purchase the clear front lenses...i paid over $100 dollars shipped. the lenses are not available in the US.

Andrew,

Here is my right after I install the Eibach:

Maybe after few weeks, will settle(might drop more).

When you take out your spring, on top of the spring it will have pad. Look at the number of notches on the pad. Those are the number of the spring pad. Starting from there, you can add a thicker pad.

I was told from a vendor that the Roadster springs were not avaiable till March. He wanted 350.00 to install them and align the car when he gets them. He was unsure of what Pro Spacers to use after the lowering too, any ideas?

I'm in So Cal. any other ideas fof who to go to for installation around here?

I'give them a call. Did you add the Pro Spacers for your wheels? Did you use the stock spring spacers?
