best springs for small drop

so, latley ive been looking to lower my car, and improve the handling, problem is, most of the springs i see drop it a little to much for my taste, i know the eibach pros only drop it .5 in the back, but that seems like to little so whats a good spring that drops it a little more than the prokits but not as much as most other springs
around .75 in would be awesome

thats only a 1/4 inch difference.. there is no way you'll notice the difference in .5 and .75.. if you want it to be the height you want with handling then get a set of coil overs..

yea, i was considering coilovers, so maybe ill just wait and get those, anyonn have any pics or a balt w/ the prokit i just dont like the fact that the prokit doesnt lower the front at all, i was hoping like .5-.75 in front and then about 1 in back, basically halfway beetween pro and sport eibachs, aside from that, i was just wondering about the others like progress and sprint springs, and how they compare

Advertised 0.75 FR and 1.25 Rear Drop

Pro-Kit will lower the front zilch on an SS/SC, but it will even the rear rake out by lowering it half an inch.

I am looking at these as well. I'm in the same boat, I want no more than around an inch drop.

same here, i would the sportlines but i would bottom out bad on them. i bottom out now if im not careful. pro-kit or k-sports drop seems good but i don;t know k-sports track record if they are a good compnay or not but eibach is a great company.
