Eibach or SSC lowering springs?

Like it says. Iam looking for the most comfy ride, and a set that will last me a long time and lower the car so it looks nice, and not TOO lowered in the front or back! Anyother brand of springs is welcomed to be suggested!!

Honestly if ride quality is most important I would go with the Eibach Pro Kit. No drop in front, small drop in the rear that levels out the car nice and the ride will be much more like stock compared to putting in Sportlines. And of course with the Pro Kit you will still get a progressive rate spring for enhanced handling.

I have had my Sportlines in for about 1000 miles now. I don't care what people say they ride noticeably rougher than stock. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but they do. Some days it gets a bit annoying with all the highway resurfacing they are doing around here but I love the way the car looks with the drop they provide.

I love my ssc springs. great price, handle well, very nice ride, all around the best springs for the money. the ride is firmer than stock, not harsh at all, just firm. i think the stock springs were a little soggy or mushy, they were comfortable over rough roads and pot holes, but they left a lot to be desired on twisty roads, or even changing lanes on the highway.

If I were to do it again i would probably go with the Eibach Pro springs, the drop is about the same as the SSC, but they are progressive rate so handeling should be improved even more. I wouldn't change my springs now for them, I don't think there is enough to be gained to justify it. If money is an issue, stick with the SSC springs, you will be happy with them.

or go with sportlines like everyone else if you want extra drop...

i love my ssc spring and i agree w/ everything denn said exect the drop, the pro kit is almost no drop and the ssc's drop it about the same as the sportlines but i think its a half inch lower in the front.

cobalt addiction claims 1.0f/1.3r for the sportlines, 0.0f/0.5r for the prokit, and 1.5f/1.3r for the ssc's
