As a X-Mas gift I get to choose which springs to get. I am leaning towards the Eibach just because many of my friends have them but would like to get some input on the BBK's.

Thanks

H&Rs... I have the supersports and its a real clean drop... About a 2 inch drop in the front, and a little over 1.6 in the rear... H&Rs won't sag over time either...

For the most part, they are all made by the same manufacturer, with different colors and labels. From what I recall the BBK and Eibach are the same springs.

I got the Steedas and I like them. Doesn't drop the car too much but still looks lowered a bit and handles and rides great.

Thanks for the replies guys. I think that I'll end up getting the Eibachs,I have herd that the BBKs are a bit rougher. The H&Rs would be great but I eventually will get LT headers and the drop will be to low. [patriot]
