Default suspension lowering kits

I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on which suspension lowering kits are the best bang for your buck. Just want to know what you guys have and what you think of it? I was looking for a 1.5 drop but it seems that its either .75" or 2" on most kits.

I have the Eibach pro kit that I bought used and the orignal person cut the front springs a little so I have a nice rake from back to front. I love the way that it looks and handles. I had them installed along with some Tokico Blue shocks/struts, Upper/lower control arms, Poly bushing up front, Caster/camber plates, and offset rack bushing (the aluminum ones). This made a big difference in how the car handles, next on the list is Steeda's adjustable rear sway bar and a strut tower brace. Hope this helps.

I had a BBK kit on my GT. 1.5" front and 0.8" rear. I also added the appropriate Tokico shocks and struts.

I just installed the Tokico Illumina Advanced handling kit and I got it for an unbeatable price on ebay brand new. Some guy sells kits for almost evey car at crazy low prices. I got 4 Tokico springs and 4 Illumina 5 way adjustable shocks/struts for $350. About 1 3/8 front 1 1/4 back. I'm very happy with them. Search ebay for Tokico Illumina and you will find them.

please post or email me the name of the seller. I'm doing an IRS swap in the rear and I'm looking to do a nice setup in the front. Prob going coil overs, but I would like to see what this guy has. thanks

I'm doing the Eibach Sport System Kit. It comes with Eibach Sportline 2in Drop Springs and the Eibach Shocks/Struts to accomidate for the drop. $525 for the kit and I'm going to do it myself. I'd look into it, I've heard nothing but good things

oops it was 550/free shipping. I was way off on the price but it's still a good deal (sorry). I think he has them for 540 now.
