yeah stick with a big name like eibach but i'd go with a 2 in drop the ride will be a lot harder and will handle a lot better heres mine

 

lets try a pic i'm thinking of getting some gfx on friday

 

Paul - I am going to go with the pro-kit when I lower my car, primarily
because it is a street car and I still want decent ground clearance.
I think the pro-kit would eliminate just enough of the fender
gap that you have, and give your car a great stance. I have also
heard that the prokit has a great ride and when you push it they
deliver great performance. I really
like your car and think that the centerline galaxy wheels look
really good on it. I am just wondering what size those wheels are
and what size tires you are running on them. I just ordered a set
of the centerline matrix wheels (5-spoke version) in 17x8 and
17x9.5. I think if you decide to lower your car an inch or even
two, if you stick with eibach springs you can't go wrong.

 

I love my Dropzones..... my front is extra low cause i cut off 1/2 of a coil, but theres others here that didnt do that. Im not dising the Eibachs but they are too expencive IMO. But if you got the $ then go right ahead.

 

I have the eibach pro kit and am very happy with the ride and performance. Yes the ride feels mushy, but in a good way. Our stock ride is bouncey and harsh. The progessive nature of the eibachs gives you a smoother ride with out all the teeth jarring bouncing. here is my car...Now I have a 2.8, so we had to cut a 1/2 coil up front to get the car to sit level. They are made for the wieght of a v-8 car...

 

I have the Eibach Sportlines. I bought them cuz the guy that had them only wanted $75 for the set and they only had 3K miles on them.

I had Jamex springs on my car for a couple of years and that was 1.5" drop.
Heres the Jamex


Here are the Eibachs,

Note: there is no motor or tranny in the car in the above pic.
Oh, and both pics are of the same car. I have a habit of changing parts like people change socks.

 

those are the stock 14 x7 with 195-75-r14 or 15 tires

 

thanks for the feedback everyone i have the stock 16 x 8 inch wheels i think the tires are 255-50-16 not sure .
also the offset is now that i can use the front rim on the back and vise versa...unlike the stock rims shallow rear deep fronts.

i found the springs for 240.00 ft and rear is that a good price??

 

I took jcurrieirocz's lead and went with DZ's. I paid $125 w/shipping from some dude on Ebay. They came within 3 days of payment. I had the shop put them in while doing the KYB front struts and centerlink and got an instant 1.25 inch drop. There's very little fender gap now. Throw in the Hellwig (sp.) front and rear swaybars and the rear KYB shocks and the car is "tight as *****"! I took an "ESS" turn at about 45 MPH and the rear did not break lose and there was zero body roll. The ride is very stiff and you must take sleeping policemen (speed bumps) and pot holes super slow or you'll hit the under carriage. Overall the car rides like it's brand new. I'd post some pics but the car is sitting at the shop getting some new clothes (paint) right now.
