I personally like neuspeed. The sports rode really nice. nice and stiff, but not too stiff. only thing was it didnt drop low enough. I also had the race, the drop was sick but i would bottom out from time to time. If you have an 01 it should be fine but after they changed the top mounts to bearings it seems like they shortened the stroke somehow. but ya i would recommend the sports.
I have both for sale if interested. n no, i'm not saying it just cause i have it forsale but if you read my posts in the supension forum, you'll see thats what i recommend. goldlines are too soft, eibach is too expensive and a little on the soft side as well.

thanks.. ya ever since i took them off(need new tires), my car has been lookin like **** too . hopefully it'll be back on soon

h&r are good BUT they only drop 1.3". for me even 1.75" wasnt low enough. people could hardly tell my car was dropped. 1.3" is almost like stock to me cause your still going to have like a 2-3 finger gap(depending on which tires you have). i figure why spend $200+ and have your car still look stock. just not worth it IMO. if they had something a little lower, i'd recommend it but 1.3" is just way too high.
