how is that? both pairs of springs are eibach only reason I'm doin sportlines in front and prokit in back is cuz I want the front a lil lower than the rear since ima put a sub in back and it will even out

both shocks and struts are gonna be tokico but I don't know if I should do adjustable or non in the rear

the sport kit and pro-kit's are a system that work front/rear with appropriate spring rates, if it were me and I wanted the front lower I'd just take the isolators out and run poly isolators in the rear, or MM adj. lca's and raise it up a bit.

what non-adjustable tokiko's would you run? blue's aren't comparable to any of the 5-ways settings iirc.

blind is correct. your suspension is going to be one confused setup, lol. you might come back on here and ask why the car rides funny [Wink] .

seriously though, take blind's advice. it makes a lot of sense.
