Lowering Springs
Is ther e a clear answer to what springs are the best for handling.I know the major one is eibach. They must be decent but are they as good as the hype? Has anybody heaRD of springtech?? On some of the ebay sales I see these and you can go to their website and they say they have supplied to all the major manufacturers "They have Sold their springs to major name brand companies , Belltech , Tokico , Koni , Neuspeed , Trailmaster , Eibach , Fabtech , Sprint , and Chassis Tech to name a few." Anybody know if these are any good?

Me, I like Eibachs.
I use my cars as drivers with only the very occasional track or autocross thrown in.
To me they give the best ride/handling compromise.
If your going for the ultimate street setup or track, they wont be best for you.
You'd more than likely end up with sold rated front and rears vs. the Eibachs regular fronts and progressive rears.

springs
I have a set of 1 1/2" lowering springs from Hotchkis front and rear and the handling and cornering capibilities of the 91 RS increased about 150-160% ove rthe stock springs. The springs you get depend greatly on your definition of handling. Are we talking Auto-x, everyday city, or back country twisty roads? I built my suspension around daily driver (back country twist roads) and occasional track use. I think this car holds the road better then my auto-x RX-7 (and that is saying something).
