Best choice?
ok, heres my question, i want the look of the eibach pro-kit(not too low), but i want as good of handling i can get, w/o goin w/ coilovers of any kind. so, how is the handling with the pro-kit, i know it will be better, but what i want to know is if i go with say a neuspeed sport or race type spring, how much better will the handling be? enough that the lower ride is worth it?
thanks.
thanks.

why do you want to lower your car? only for performance? if your only for performance i would say prokit. if you also want looks then i say something lower like eibach sportlines or neuspeed sports. its low enough for someone to tell your car is lowered but not too low. with the prokit, majority of the people wouldnt even know your car was lowered.
and it obvious, lower the car better the handling so ya the question is "how much better will the handling be?". i dont think anyone would be able to give you a straight forward answer on this. but ya i personally like the slammed looks so i myself would go with race([IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG] i'm stuck with sports however). and i just think prokit is a waste of money unles if you have 19s, kit or are just a performance buff. if you want looks as well, get neuspeed sports. like i said, its low but not that low. i dont have too many problems with scraping or anything.

do you have some pics you could send me? maybe a variety, like some from several yards away, and others that show more than the fender gap? if so, thatd be great. thanks.
it also depends on road conditions where you live. as for me, i drive like 50 miles a day on crappy roads in traffic, so race springs wouldn't be a good idea unless i had konis. i should've got the sportlines instead of prokit, but prokit does have a noticeable drop.

well, i drive about 40 plus miles per day, and the roads here in pa arent the greatest (winter hates roads), so i dont think ill go with the race , i dont want that low of a drop anyway. the lowest ill go is prolly neuspeed sports, but ill prolly end up goin w/ eibach sportlines

i dont know what it was but i just drove 120 miles (60 each way) and my backs killing me... not sure if its cause i was sitting wrong, the springs or my rims... but ya if you drive 40 miles a day race woulnt be the best springs for you. sportlines are good but why? i just think there are springs that are just as good for alot less...
and ya like i said, with the prokit, only person thats going to know the car is lowered is you since its your car. people driving by wont even be able to tell. people could hardly even tell with my neuspeed sports... as for pics, i have like 1 or 2 in my members ride.. alot of people have neuspeed sports... just keep in mind the tire size(not rim size)... bigger tires give you a smaller gap but higher ride height, smaller tires = bigger gap, lower ride height. and in pictures, the drop looks lower then it really is, thats why i got sports, only to find out it wasnt as low as i thought it was...
