ha yeah you wont get much of a drop. I'd recommend goin with ss in the back and stock in the front if ur going that route as that will at least even the car out instead of such an odd stance with the front end so low.

SS springs have a siffer rate so putting a stiffer spring in the rear while keeping a softer spring rate up front. That will have a negative inpact on the handling of the car IMHO.

I like my Eiabach Sportlines. You will definatly need an alignment after you put them on. People will tell you that you don't NEED and camber bolt kit. I didn't have a camber kit for the first 5 months then I got one. Personally I think it aligns better with one. I'll post some pics if you'd like to see them with my different tire setups.

No, you can buy them almost anywhere.

On stock springs with stock 195/60/R15 tires:


On Sportlines with stock 195/60/R15 tires (this pic was taken befor they had fully settled):


On Sportlines with 225/40/R18 tires (for summer months):


On Sportlines with 215/60/R15 tires (for winter months):
