Lowering a 1993 400e

I have stock rims, and i will be putting probably pilot sports on them. There will be about 3 inches of room from top of wheel to bottom of wheel well. I know Eibach lowers 1inch and the H&R's lower it 1.5. Anybody know how much the Renntech springs lower it? I really want to give the car a new look by lowering it as low as possible.

been dere don' dat

I used the Eibach's. Remember though,when you lower the car you will also need to also get shocks/struts to keep the suspension balanced.
Once I lowered mine with the Eibach's it was pretty low. No clearance(fender to tire.....fenders were rolled however) in back with 245X40X17 Pilots. I later went back and changed the spring pads and added 1/4 - 1/2" of rear clearance.(I was eatting tires and this took out some of the neg camber...eventually had to install Kmac rear camber kit to save future tires) So if you want slammed, pick any one of the 3, get matching spot shocks and get the thinnest spring pads available that will still allow you car to ride level
