Default What springs

I am about to lower the car and I am trying to decide what springs to get. I think coil overs are overkill for me and a little over my budget. I was looking at Eibach pro-kit but I am not sure that it will drop it enough. My car has a huge gap with the 20" wheels. I think the sportlines may be the way to go. I am just worried that my longtubes will drag. Does anyone on here run sportlines? I plan to add the springs, panhard, and steeda pro action struts and shocks. The car is not a daily driver but I don't want to have to worry about dragging on everything when I do drive it.

I'm putting on the H&R Race Springs next week. If I remember right the Pro-kit is more performance driven and the sportlines are more drop only springs. If that's the case I'd prefer the Pro-Kit. It's what I had on my old SN95 car and I liked them.

As far as suspension parts look to Jayman(jason) at Hypermotive. Great vendor on here.

I'm on Sportlines and have plenty of clearance. Longtubes would be no problem.

Thanks for the pics Steve. That really helps. It doesn't sit as low as I thought it would. I think those are going to be the way to go.

ProCharge, what is your budget? Some of the coil overs out there aren't that expensive.

I'm rocking the BMR springs. If you haven't seen some of the other pics I have on here in the "Member's Rides" section, then I will just leave these here.

Just posted this in the other thread...but your probably going to spend around the same price on the springs,shocks and struts as a set of BC Racing coilovers cost.

I've only done springs so far...and I won't be going to coilovers until after I get wheels, and the soon to be struts and shocks are due for replacement.

Not on a specific budget I just want to get out the cheapest way I can. I think I can do springs, struts/shocks, and Gt500 mounts for about $700.

BC coilovers are around $1,000 from what I have seen.

You can get the ST coilovers which are made by K/W for a little cheaper.
