Lowering springs

I'm buying a set of Eibach pro kit springs. What does everyone have to say on these springs, good stance, handling wise and so on. I believe they are a 1" drop up front and a 1.5" in the rear over stock. Any help would be great, thanks.

I would buy the sportlines instead. I have them on my car and I love them.

Pro kit only drops in the rear.

Sportlines would look way better IMO.. but if you like the way the pro-kit sits then go for it

sportlines look better, but the Pro-Kit has very good handling, just depends on which is more important to you

After thinking about it I decided I would pass on them. Half inch in the back and none up front looks wise does not do it for me no matter how good the ride is. Thinking I'll do the pedders with the fe5 struts and shock combo instead.

Blows that everything is in the states though. Crate engine has a fe5/pedders combo for something like 500 or 600 but then shipping it up north cross border.....too much money

I agree. The pro kit does not drop the front much I measured 3/4 of inch in the front and 1 and 1/4 in the rear.

But the handling is a lot better then stock.

Here is mine on the Pro Kit.

Thanks for the pics and yeah improved handling is about the best thing you get from the pro kit from what I've heard. My car stock is that low already so they really would do nothing for me.

I've got Sportlines on mine. Drop is great, but it's likely more so because my struts are jacked. I'm on stock FE3's. I plan on getting either FE5's or Koni Yellows this summer to help. It's like I'm driving a buggy with wooden wheels and no suspension.. haha
