I understand that production ended approx 3 months ago for this part. I have not been able to find them anywhere.

Any suggestions on other brands?

Any opinion on just heating the oem to lower it?
Or is cutting 3/4 - 1 loop off using a cutting wheel the best option?

Thanks Guys!

i found them pretty easily?

most people cut 1 coil out and say there is virtually no effect on handling, but im still skeptical

Do not heat them that destroys the temper and thus the spring. Cutting them is the right way to do it.

They have been discontinued for quite some time now. If you can't find Eibach's on Ebay or elsewhere try Eaton springs. They offer a couple of drop choices.

don't heat them to drop

I cut 3/4 of a coil off and dropped 3/4 of an inch could have went the full coil but was afraid
I'm happy with the drop that I have the ride did stiffen up a little but you get used to the feel quickly.
I even bought an extra pair of springs just in case which I still have

We could get a group buy if 25 people commit to buying eibachs, I'm good for one set, possibly two.

I have not been able to locate Eibach, or Eaton lowering springs.
Still working on it.
Any luck with P71 or P74 springs?
I notice most Interceptors and regular cars sit lower than a Marauder.
I already have KYB's.
Thanks guys!

The P71s actually sit about 2" higher than a P74 and the Marauders are about 2" lower than a P74.... Maybe it's only 1 1/2" each way

My DTR 04 was cut it looks nice. Drives a bit stiff. But I like the handling. With the after market 20s.

At the bottom of his listing (180886615207) he says: I have another kit and will honor the same price for the second kit for the winning bidder. If you have any questions feel free to call me 408-879-9062.

I bought two kits from this guy on ebay. I needed my set asap, so I made a deal with him for two sets. With shipping, which wasn't cheap, each set cost me $198. If I had waited, I could have bought them all for the ebay price. Oh well.
The seller got them from a Speed Shop that went out of business. If you try to order online, as I have, you will find that the sites that still show the 3596.120 will not be able to process an order. They are brokers, and Eibach quit making the spring for the Marauder. I have had no luck in finding springs, until now.
I snagged two sets so I could pass one on to someone here on MM.net. I rounded my cost up to $200 plus shipping if anyone is interested. If not, I'll just hold on to them for my next car.
Thanks for all the feedback.

Slickster, I got the KYB's to use with Eibach springs. They seem to be the ones most prefer.
