Here it is. Eibach pro-kit, monroe synsatrac shocks/struts (i may get something better someday), and the stock rubber insulators.

Ride is much much better than the factory springs. And the front end rebuild cured the vibrating steering wheel. And the wandering.

I didn't change anything. Just installed the springs. The front is slightly lower than the front. But I like it. My car was way higher in the front. Looked funny. I love the pro-kit. Handles great. It handles better now without the sway bar than it used to. Once I get some sway bar bushings I'll throw it on and see how well it handles.

I think the driveway is on a slight incline. otherwise the pro-kit should give a nice subtle rake to your cars stance.

That's the kind of stance I ended up getting. If you wanted to get the back down a little lower, you can take out the rear rubber isolator & just put heater hose over the top coil that sits on the body.(Someone told me about the heater hose trick ) Anyways, I love your stance & here is mine on level ground with the rear isolators still in.
