Eibach and ground controll are 2 seperate companies.. No such a thing as an Eibach ground controll.. quit post whoring dude...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

But Neuspeed sport springs
or Eibach Pro-kit would be your best solution.
The EIbach pro-kit will drop you 1" all around
Neuspeed will drop you 1.4" front 1.2" rear..
I believe that Ground Control uses custom made springs by Eibach so they are related. Check the website for yourself at http://www.ground-control.com

that's what I am going to be getting. Eibach Pro Kit and I am also adding on the Ingall's camber kit to that.

I'm new at this but that's all you need to drop yuor car except for the tools and stuff to install them. Places like Tire Rack suggest you get a alignment kit with Eibach springs. One problem you may run into when lowering your car is that your shocks will go out after time. And what I hear is that you shouldn't lower your car any more then 2" or you can blown out your shocks out quick. The only aftermarket shocks out at the moment for our car is Koni yellows which are adjustable and everything but have a pretty price tag. It will run you like 550-600 for them.
I want to lower my ride with a Pro-kit, Sportline or Ground Control but I don't want to mess my shock/struts up so I think I'm going to wait til I can get some Koni's or something and do it all at once. I'm hoping that they will be some other shocks released by then so I can save a little money.

if you want coilovers, you can go either ground control (like previously mentioned) or you can go with a full coilover strut, like Tein basic/super street dampers or K&W (i think thats the company) coilover struts... kinda pricey (around the $1k+ range) but more worth it IMO...
is the Prokit springs good?
I'm thinking about getting these but I want to hear from someone with first hand experience about them....I have a questions?
Are they stiff?
like way stiffer then OEM, or like juss a touch?
thanks

H&R Sport Spring are great too. They are a healthy drop in between a substantial drop and and a small drop. They will lower your car 1.3", they ride decently, and get rid of most of that wheel gap. Check out my ride. I have had them on for 4 months and my shocks are still in great shape.
