Eibach springs?

Ok, when the motor is over and done with, I need to get some springs. My current stockers have 250k on them, and are sagging. My car is alot lower than other 3rd gens, handles bad, and rides rough.

Ride quality isn't a huge issue, just as long as the springs do give some over bumps.

I would also like to lower it as little as possible. 1.25" max.

I dont want new stock springs, so dont even bother suggesting it.

I am looking at the Eibach Pro-Kit. Anyone have experience with them and will they fit my needs?

Yea from what I've heard they rock. I'm going to get the sportlines. It'll drop me down a bit which is what I'm looking for, plus I've also got a lot of miles on the stocks, so it's time for a change.

I'd go with The prokit if you don't want it really low. I had as et of the sportlines on my old 84 Z28 (1992 Z28 clone) and it dropped about 1 3/4 inches....pretty low for everyday driving....
