They are way to soft for the drop they offer and the rear drops slightly more than the front...(typical Eibach)<br /><br />If you're looking toward conventional springs and want to do it right, I recommend H&R supersports with Bilstein sport struts/shocks and MM caster/camber plates... I ran this combo for awhile on my 96 Cobra, and thought it was a nice setup for the street... It was stiff, but not harsh by any means... Another plus about H&R springs is that they don't sag over the years... I actually still have my supersports in the rear but with Griggs coil-overs in front... <img border="0" alt="[burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ March 29, 2004, 11:42 PM: Message edited by: Rev Happy ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
