Depends on how low you want your car, and what ride quality you want. Keep in mind that when dropping the car on springs, you want to upgrade the shocks/struts(samething) as well. Or you could get coilover sets, which are better if you want to slam your car further. I want to get eibach pro's because I don't want a crazy drop. Eibach's only drop you about 1.25-1.5" where as coil overs and other springs and shocks you can drop up to 3 or 4" all depends on what you're looking for.

how low do you want to go? Do you still have your stock shocks? HOw many miles. I'm a big fan of the eibach pros, wish I still had mine!


also are you a 2.X or a 3.0?

how about the other questions, my friend?


I strongly recommend the eibach prokit, it's the only kit out there actually made for the heavier 3.0. I wish I would of kept it but it simply wasn't low enough for me. I know hwo the sportlines and you can really feel the extra weight having an effect on the springs.

eibach makes the best springs in the industry IMO, very very very few companies put the R&D in that they do. And a large amount of other companies actually have eibach make their springs to their own specs. I've done about 9 different setups on my CL and to this day I still think the prokit was the best as far as comfort, handling, etc. Just simply wasn't low enough for my wants.


What kind of depends "yano"? Whether you are on stock shocks, or how low you want to go?

For a nice, not slammed, look, go with Elbrach on KYB AGX. you can't go wrong there. If you want the slammed look, get the Sportline springs., with the KYB AGX shocks.
