not to jack the thread, but when you lower the car, is it time for new shocks/struts as well?

Just keep in mind for optimal ride with any lowering spring you'll need to compliment them with some aftermarket struts/shocks. Caster/camber plates are not a bad idea either and will likely be needed with any significant drop.

i heard good things about the pro-kit, and ive heard not so good things about the sportlines. the sportlines will give you a bigger drop though.


just call maximum motorsports, tell them what you wanna do, and ask them what they recommend.

when i buy springs, im going to buy H&Rs.

can anyone suggest a good set of shocks/struts to go along with eibach sportlines? I was thinking of KYG AGX

I've heard good things about Tockico shocks and struts. Strange 10-ways also sound like a pretty good choice.

I love my Tokico Illumina 5-way adjustables. The only other strut I'd probably run would be the Strange 10-ways.
