ahahahaha , now that is kinda funny
you dont need to lower the car to reduce body roll , granted a lower spring will help
stiffer springs , different shock/strut valving , larger anti sway bars
the lower you go the more you gotta re-engineer the whole suspension

^^You will need 2 of these. 1 per front wheel.
These springs will give the car more of a race car feel, low, stuck to the ground and less roll than OEM.

4. How is the ride?
5. Do you have any pictures with the springs installed?
6. Do you offer free shipping on the sway bar?
I will be awaiting your answers because as of now I think these are the springs I will buy

2.) Yes
3.) Yes it will help reduce body roll and offer far better more dynamic handling
4.) 20-30% more aggressive than stock
5.) No, I do not.
6.) Yes we do.

Lowering springs are more stiffer in spring rates because of less height travel in rebound and compression, so that is 1 in the same on your comment.

I am wondering why lowering more than 1 inch would have anything to do with how fast a shock would wear out. Unless there is rust on the shaft that would ruin the seals or you were bottoming out the shock, it shouldn't care how long the spring is.

Hey BlackLS, go with eibach, you will like them. Not to mention, there's plenty of pics to see, so you know you'll like them. I'm sure Dezod can get the eibachs much quicker than a month.
