Not low enough for my tastes...im going with H&R supersport springs when i get the chance. Much better stance. You will find that the back sags and the front will never settle enough. Just saying might wanna reconsider your choice in springs.

Ya I have noticed that the back end of my car sits much better than the front. Is annoying that is like that but I guess that will cause me to upgrade my suspension faster.

Agreed, i'm planning on getting the H&R springs soon along with some Tokico shocks/struts and the CC plates. A hefty amount of money so i'm still saving for it.

okay...maybe I should think about ditching the prokit idea and going with the H&R springs. Anybody know if I'd need the caster camber plates for the H&R?

No you still wouldn't need the CC plates but I would suggest getting new shocks and struts and CC plates to match the new lowered springs.

I would definitely get the H&R over the Prokit.

I've heard people say you will need them with the H&R setup and some haven't. The way i look at it is since i have to get the springs and shocks might as well just do it right the first time and get the CC plates. I'd rather do everything at once and be done with it. Yes it's more expensive but you know you did it the right way instead of half assing it.

Yeah true, itd be a wasted 250 bucks if I cheeped out and didn't do it right. i guess Ive got some things to think about then. and with the 17" wheels it'd be better to have a little extra drop in the front with the 1.75'' of the H&R as opposed to the 1.5" of the Eibach. What will the CC plates do other than just allow me to bring my alignment back into spec? anything?

Keep your tires from getting abnormal wear because of your suspension being out of alignment. If you dont have your suspension aligned, you will cup your tires and therefore get less use out of them and they will make a noise like a monster truck with mudding tires on it going down the road. Here is what you will need to pull off lowering springs successfully...lowering springs, caster/camber plates, and new shocks and struts(fox body length). Theres what you do. You dont skimp out on the suspension of your car.

okay, yeah I knew about the alignment issues you would have without the caster camber plates if the stock ones werent enough. I was just wondering if they had any other benefits because everybody says to get them, that they are good to have
