Performance Springs

What are the best springs out there that don't have a REALLY low drop (I live in the Pocono Mountans) but at the same time have a stiffer ride?

That's a good question! lol. I didn't even notice that until now. I think the paint finish is smoother on the bumpers because they are painted separately.

The car was also fairly dirty when I took these pics, so maybe the metal body panels attract more dirt?

Eibach sportlines... they have a pretty aggressive drop but they're great.

So it's eibach pro-kit with 1.6 front and 1.8 back vs Progress Technologies? eibach sportline is out of question because their drop is 2.0 and 2.5 back which I think might be too much for my area.

The Eibach Prokit's will make your car sit like a stick SS/SC except it will be 1/2" lower in the rear.

Eibach Prokit, drops just a little but is very firm. This way you have a nice firm ride, but does not lower the car so much you are hitting the bumpers.

I've got the pro-kit on my car. After having them for 2 weeks i'm very pleased. It's def. lowered it to a more aggressive stance, and has a tighter ride, but over all driveability quality is still great. I'm very pleased with them!
