how low can u go on Eibach's??
I seen a pair of Eibach sport prolines for 190$$
I am very interested in getting them but it says it will only give me a 1.4 inch drop???
I want at least a 2 inch drop, is this true or can you go lower??
Comments feedback suggestions???

do you have a 2.2/2.3 or a 3.0? One a 2.3 they will be about a 2 inch drop once settled, and if you have a 3.0 they will be about a half inch lower up front due to the weight. If you get them and you arent satisfied with the drop you can buy some Koni yellows and set them on the lower perch and get another .5 inch drop. You will need new shocks anyway if you will be getting sportlines.
well sportlines should drop you at least 2.25" if not 2.5"
my prokits dropped me about 2" in the rear and with the front konis on the lower perch its dropped about 2-2.25" in the front. i love it. i couldnt go anylower. i have enough problems as it is and my cars body is 4.5" off the ground while the header is only 3" if that. i have no wheel gap. also the prokit is a progressive spring so it rides very close to stock. combo that with adj shock firmness and thats one good setup that rides perfect. if i had to do it all over i think i would just get the tein ss coilovers. i may still do that if after i get rims i have more wheel gap.

Yes you will need a camber kit or your tires will look like this /---\ and wear very uneven and require replacement much sooner than normal. If you go that low without also replacing the shocks, the stock shocks will not last long until they blow. Best to do them both at the same time to either save money on the install if you are paying to have it done, or to save time if you choose to do it yourself.

if you get a full coilover setup (i.e Apex'i, Tein, etc) then a spring is paired with the shock. They are matched together and inherently better than buying different aftermarket springs and shocks. Coilover sleeves (i.e Ground control, Arospeed, HP racing) are essentially height adjustable springs that are not progressive, and don't give you the ride quality or performance of a full coilover setup. I know some people actually prefer a ground control/koni setup since you can custom order the ground controls to your stiffness preference, but hell - i don't know na'an
If you want to adjust height get the tein basic or ss or apexi ws. If you prefer to go with springs get sportlines the prokit wont give you much drop unless you have koni yellows like vxcl he can drop the perch lower to lower the car.
