I have been seeing good and bad points from all sides. What springs do you all have and how do you they perform? Please include height drop for your springs as well. Thanks

sportlines on a '95. handle amazingly. not sure of the drop. they make the car look perfect though. if they were about a half inch lower, they would be perfect for me. after they have been on there longer than 2 weeks and i drive the car more, i'm sure they will settle more.

See, I've been reading that Eibach lies about their actual heights, is this true or not?

Eibach Prokits is a really mild drop around an inch, the sportlines are a nice drop (both increase the handling power), other springs are of a more radical drop.

What you need depends on you, if its a daily driver are there any potholes, speed bumps, steep(sp?) driveways in your area, if it's a track car only lower will help better.

match the aftermarket springs (stiffer) to good aftermarket shocks...that is the key

or just buy "true" coilovers

H&R and Suspension Techniques and Tein also makes springs if you want to drop your car more then the Pro Kit, but not as much as the Sportlines...
