Hi mofoT
O.K., got it.
No, I prefer the Eibach Pro-Kit springs over the H&R Race Springs because they are not as radical a drop. Be aware the the number they show for the amount the car is lowered are only estimates. All cars are not made the same and some have differing equipment. All of these factors conspire to make the numbers shown for the amount of lowering only a close guess. My own '05 GT dropped more than the Eibach specs said it would. Mine went 1.5F/1.7R on an '05 GT premium coupe, 5-speed with everything but the skipper 1000.
As far as the parts I think can give most people the best bang for the buck and still get excellent handling, grip and ride? I 'd go with the basics as I've outlined before. Sport Springs of you choice (I prefer the Eiback Pro-Kit springs), Tokico D-Spec struts and dampers, Steeda adjustable Panhard bar, Steeda Panhard bar brace and a Steeda G-Trac brace. Like I've said before this suspension is more car than 98% of all drivers can possibly drive well enough to know they need more mods.
The Eibach Pro-Kit springs won't drag through driveways except those with very steep or very high crowns. I just installed this core suspension setup on a friend's car today. He was VERY happy and totally amazed that this was the same car he had driven into my garage. He loves it!

Sorry, when I said I was confused I meant I don't know which brand of springs I should go with the H&Rs or the Eibach's. Basically I was looking to see if people out there prefer one over the other and why. So you would suggest getting the H&R Race Spring set which lowers 1.5 F and 1.4 R over the Eibach Pro-Kit which lowers 1.3 F and 1.4 R? I just want to make sure I'm not scraping the bottom of my car as this is the 1st car I've ever bought Brand New and I want to take care of it as best I can. I am a complete amature when it comes to this stuff and know virtually nothing about modifying cars. I want to make sure the car still handles well yet doesn't scrape every time I go over a speed bump or into a drive way and still gets rid of most of the gap between the wheel and the wheel well. So along with the springs I should also get an adjustable Panhard bar and the heavy duty Panhard bar brace along with BMR's weld-in LCA relocation brackets? Do I also need to buy camber bolts? And I should also get Steeda's control arm relocation kit? Thanks for all your help and information, it's very much appreciated.
