Eibach sportline springs claim to drop the car 1.8"F and 1.7"R. But the drop should be at around 2" when the springs settle. I hope this helps.

the thing about those springs are that they are for the 2.2, not the 3.0, now does someone knoif there is a big defference in the springs as far as that is concerned, guys at the shop say that the springs for the 2.2 weren't made to hold up for the weight of the 3.0

That is 100% right, why would you buy springs for a 2.2 when you have a 3.0 .. The springs for the 3.0 are different in the sense that they can hold more weight .... they do make sportlines(1.8 inch) for a 3.0 aswell as the prokit(1.4 inch)

I still like the H&R drop. If it wasn't for these damned Atl roads, I'd get them in a heartbeat.

Lowers more in the front than the back. So the wheel gap is non existent.

1.4-1.5 in the rear, 1.8 in the front (pretty sure). So its like having Sportlines in the front with Prokits in the rear. Plus the fact H&R is a reputable company all together.

they are a German company, they make race springs for most of the porsche's and mercede's that race in different series. They also make consumer products. I have the sport springs, if you have the money I would go with the cup kit or the coilovers, they should be really sweet.

yeah but do you have crappy coilovers that just come with the spring and the perch? These come with the whole assembly.

2 things about coilovers.

1. If you don't get quality coilovers ie. Gound Control, with adjustable shocks forget about it.

2. Even if you do get quality coilovers you can't help but to slam the hell out of the car because it looks so damn sweet sitting low, and then its all over, you can forget about a descent ride no matter how much you spend on the set up.

This is why i'm going back to the neuspeed sports because they lowered the car a descent amount and drove better than stock in my opinion.
