i am looking into lowering my car but i am not sure what to get. I know Eibachis good, i want to drop it 2". has any one heard of Spring Tech and if they are any good. i got a good deal with the springs and the shocks and strust for $500, thats pretty cheap, so i was thinking about going with it! so can someone give me some help and tell me your opinion!

my reccomendation from experience with suspension, dont buy whatever is cheapest, u get what u pay for. if you want it low and smooth i sugest the H&R SS springs. they are an honest 2 inch drop all the way around.

If you want an even stance go with H&R. Eibach has a nice agressive stance and so does BBK. But I don't like BBK

im also about to pick up new springs, but im not really familiar with the eibach drag launch kit. Do they also drop 1.5 like the sport kit or is it an uneven stance? In a perfect world i would want a 2" drop oriningally all around, then lower the front about another 1/2".. Doesnt steeda sell some ball joints that lower it anoter 1/2" or somethin like that?

ive had several different springs on my cars, eibach, motorsport, etc...I bought a set of intrax springs from summit for my last 5.0 and the car sat 2+ inches lower a week after install. i thought the ride was pretty good. i recommend those 5-way adjustable struts, i think tokiko makes them.

H&R, but I would not lower any more than 1 1/2. You will mess up a already bad suspension. Bumb steer, no camber gain. suspension travle for the street. just my $.02
