The previous owner of my Marauder installed factory springs that had one coil cut out of them. I then lowered the rear via the air suspension for the stance you see below:

Most people on here will tell you to stay away from Eibach.

Hope this helps.

Is the ride still decent with the cut coils? I am thinking of doing this on my CVPI as the rear is sitting lower now with the new stereo stuff in there and no air ride like the Marauder. I would like to bring the front back down a little.

I cut 5/8ths of a coil and the ride is great, next time I do my brakes I will cut some more to make it a full coil to reduce the tire to fender void.

I cut one full coil of the front and it dropped 1.25" - the rear can be lowered by sliding the ride-height sensor sideways. When you're under the car, it will be evident what I am talking about.

I had 46,000 on my front springs when i cut a full coil out and it went down 5/8" for about two days and then it settled at 7/8" and it looks like a lot more and handles wwwaaaayyyyy better then it used too!!!!!!Just take our advice and hack em. Spring compressor is free to rent at autozone so there isn't any money out of pocket....You will wish you did it a long time ago!!!
