Question Need Alittle Input

first off puts flame suit on....... yes i know how to use the search button but i dont have time right now to go threw 20+ threads looking for my answer...i have to be at work in like 15 min...lol...ok now heres my question... what is the difference between both Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Springs and Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs besides the price difference and ride height difference..why does the sportline cost 10 bucks less but gives a lower center of gravity and the pro kit only lowers about 1.8 in rear and 1.6 in front? im guessing ride quality i dont know...

my second question is which strut bar is better dc sports or the mrz one...thank in advance for your input...'takes flame suit off'

Stiffer springs. Some people don't always want lower, they just want a firmer feeling car.

Personally I wouldn't waste money on a strut bar. The strut towers on our cars are welded to the firewall, if there is any movement I'd be surprised. I'd invest that money in a rear sway bar instead.

If your going to get a Strut Bar get the MRZ it's way stronger than the Dc Sports and looks better
Plus the MRZ comes with stainless studs to replace those lame GM stock ones

I know enough to know that for the best bang for the buck get a rear add on swaybar. A far better way to stiffin everything up front would be an X brace across the top of the engine bay from the strut mounts to the core support. But thats not really practical.
