Are you looking for a car that handles all around or for something that is really good in stright line performance? I have not voted yet, but will as soon as I know what kind of performance you are going for.

i voted for the eibach kit because it has the best all-around performance with the inclusion of the sway bars.

You kind of have to decide which is more important straight line or cornering. Higher your spring rate the better you are going to be able to corner but the worse your weight transfer will be. As far as shocks and struts sounds like you should go for some sort of adjustables. I've got the Tokico Illumina 5 way adjustables and I like them. I would pick none of your options above. Get some LCA's, SFC's, and springs of your choice (I prefer H&R) should cost you about the same as your options above and your car will alot better in a straight line and around the corners.

I love my D-Specs but I stepped up to H&R race springs. My car had eibachs and they were a little soft.

Default RE: Final Suspension poll - hit it up.

so:

EIBACHS = soft (rate) spring

H&R = hard (rate) spring

well.. i want a nice low tight drop.. i dont like the wheelwell 4x4 bs junk and the 1.5" drops are not that low.
what would you suggest i do? sportline is like the perfect drop.. the supersport h&rs arent that low..

I like my car lower than stock, but my primary goal is to get the lateral G's up as high as I can.
Too much lowering messes with the front suspension and steering geometry.

The H&Rs drop a coupe 1.25" in the front and a convertible 1.5".
I also have Steeda balljoints and bump steer kit coming.
You can use the Steeda balljoints to drop the car another half inch if you leave out the spring spacers.
