Q's about lowering EA82 the factory way

Featured Replies

If I wanted to lower an EA82, which springs and dampers would I use? I seem to remember that XT springs and struts would lower an EA82, but how much?

do a search. me and the scooby had a thread a few months ago and someone posted a good factory spec sheet of all the suspension components on EA82 cars

XT front struts/springs will bring it down aeounds 2 inches...the rear springs is what you want, as the XT struts for the rear will actually raise you up. The springs will bring it down 1/2 to 1 inch.

Ok, now the question I really want answered. What will these to the front of an EA81? I know RX springs will raise the front about 1", so the XT springs will take away that one inch, then lower it 3/4 of an inch below the stock height? Probably the net gain on my car will be less because it is on a turbo wagon and they're lower already. Would I be able to use EA82 struts on my EA81?
