Default Eibach lower springs kit

I'd like to lower my 03 with Eibach springs. Tire rack sells the lowering kit for $59 bucks? Hard to believe it's so cheap? Is that a good brand? How easy to install??? Kits says 0-2" drop........is that adjustable??

Getting new rims and tires and I'd like to less up the wheel and fender space.

Please help.

There is no way you can buy new Leif springs for 59 bucks, I would be willing that it is just lower bolts.

From Eibach.
Kit consists of height adjustment bolts and urethane pads (not a spring kit).

Just crank your factory bolts down first and see if it gives you enough drop.

ok....your right they are bolts.... They should change the wording and picture..

So, these are longer bolts then what we have for factory? I actully did tighten my factory bolts to lower my car, but I was running out of bolt length to make a real difference....so these are just longer??
