Help me choose some springs

Ok guys, here's what's up. Since my motor and hood swap, the front has been a little bit lightened (iron to aluminum heads and fiberglass hood) the front end now rides a little bit high compared to the rear. So which ever route I go, I need to drop the front a little bit more then the rear so that rules out the Eibach Pro kit. Now the Eibach Sport kit advertises 1.6 drop in the front and 1.3 in the rear, but I'm not sure if I wanna drop it that much. Maybe though, anyone have a pics with these springs? One set that I was considering were these http://www.spohn.net/product.cfm?productid=1436

Anyone ever use them before? The drop is a little more subtle then the Eibachs which may be what I'm looking for. I was also looking at these

I could just go with the 515-1903F front only kit just to drop the front a little and be done with it. If any of you guys have pics with aftermarket spings and list what ya got, that would be great.

Tom

I have Iron heads and stock hood so the front rides normal as far as what the springs were desinged for. You could always cut a 1/2" of coil at a time. Anywhoo, I run the sportlines all around which gace me about a 1.5" drop up front and close to 2" out back. It has been a long time so i do not really remember how much it actually dropped.






Hope these pics help.

Nowadays I am not sure. I know that the 17x9's have gone down about $50 in the last 3 years. I think they are around 208 a wheel now. I paid around 250 for mine and I got a deal at the time.
