You know how some of us gearheads are, we want our new mods done NOW. haha
Mine is lowered enough to when i turn, tires hit plastic in fender (275 tire) I am on my second set of tires I still have not bought CC plates. Then again my tires are 220 treadwear so by the time the sides are almost worn the whole tire is ready to be replaced. fender gap is about 1" front maybe 1.5" back.
I bought pro kit, WAY TO HIGH almost like factory. Plus the front sat higher. Just like factory. Luckily i was able to return them.
Currently have C springs half coil cut front and back! Pretty bumpy though

After some careful consideration, the sport lines would be too low of a drop for me. Does anybody know of a good spring that will lower it 1.5 for about the same price as the Pro-Kit?? Since the pro-kit is only 1.3 or so.

The prokit is not satisfactory at all if you are looking for a noticeable drop. The Sportlines drop the car very nicely but I like H&R SS much more. You are going to need a C&C kit with either the Sportlines or the SS though. J&M makes one for a good price if you are trying to spend less.

What do you guys think about these??

http://www.hotpart.com/shop/index.ph...ct_detail&p=31

Every heard of this company? It says a drop of 1.6, which is perfect. I know they say to get CC plates if over 1.5, but I think I should be safe with 1.6?

Sorry to keep asking but this is a great price and the perfect amount of drop.


All of your inputs are very much appreciated.

They make a decent spring. Not great, but it's not Eibach crap, either.

Keep in mind manufacturer's drop measurements are rarely within +/- 1/2 inch.

If you had to choose between those or Eibach pro-kit, which one would you choose?

I would rather have stock spring than Eibach.

You sound like a candidate for H&R Sports (SS sounds too low for you) or Race....any reason you haven't looked into them? Or even Steedas? Springs have a far greater impact on a car than you seem to realize. They don't just lower the car, they completely change the dynamic of the car...
