Thinking about lowering my 02 V6 vert. Has anyone done this with the Eibach Pro-Kit vs. the Eibach Sportline kit? I would like to use the sportline kit, but I'm worried that it may be too stiff and low. Any suggestions on Eibach or other products?

steeda sport springs I think are the best.. but since you have a V6 and performance isnt a issue for you.. go with the sportlines.. steeda springs dont mess with your weight transfer..

The sportlines are hella kool. I have them on my 89 and on my 2000 GT. I even cut a coil off all of them on my 89. They are not too low at all. I really would tell ever one to buy them. Oh yeah and if u are worried about it being to low... the only way u will scratched your bumper is if you go 30mph over a speed bump.

Sportlines for sure, perfect ride height IMO. My friend got the Pro-Kit put on the same day as I got my Sportlines put on...and wished he went with the Sportlines. Do you have rims on your car? Lowered V6 Verts with stock 15" might look kinda funny.

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like sportlines are the way to go. Slow/Norcal... how is the ride? This is a daily driver and my wife drives it a lot also. If it is too stiff, I will never hear the end of it. Slow, I have a set of 17" '03 Cobra wheels that I will put on when I lower the car.

I'm not a big suspenssion buff but I wouldn't go cutting your springs. If you want to go lower get spings that will lower the car more. I can't see how cutting them will benifit you in any way. I would imagin the springs structure would be comprimised. You want to put your family in that?

Do it right the first time so you don't have to go back a second or third time.

Jdub07... not sure what you're reading, but no one mentioned anything about cutting springs.
