I have the Eibach Pro-kit, and l'm very happy with the look and the ride characteristics. I have not noticed any significant NVH issues. Also, I had planned on changing shocks at the same time, but my local tuner talked me out of it - said the stock ones are fine. I haven't autocrossed or tracked it, but on street daily driving, I'd have to say that at least for now, he was right. I haven't noticed any adverse handling problems. Maybe in time I will.

Agree with notsofast: Eibach Pros with stock springs is working great for me. BUT, there are many more experienced MF'ers here that can give you a lot of valuable input - if money is no problem, then follow their suggestions.

Search the forum, I think you will find this a personal opinion topic, I have Steeda Utlra Lites they only droped my car 3/4 in the front and 1 1/8 in the rear, no need for panhard I was still within a 1/8 on side to side axle.

VERY NICE LOOKING CAR. I would tend to disagree with your local tuner. The stock shocks are designed to work within a specific stroke cycle. Lowering your car takes it out of that cycle and is not optimal. But... if you can put up with the bumps for a while.. i dont think it will kill ya.

I think the BMR Springs offer the best stance IMO. 1.25" front/1.75" rear.
