Coilovers or Pro kits?

Hi,
I have had the coilovers for about a month now. Does anyone have a pro kit for their 2.5 TL? How is the ride quality? Is it rough, smooth?
Anyone ever used both coilover and pro kit in their lifetime?

Ive got Eibach Sportline springs and have had them on since Feb. The ride doesnt feel much stiffer than stock, and I think the ride feels fine. Its still quite comfortable, and it looks sick as shit.

I would say that if you are going with coilovers you should replace the shocks as well. Also, every time you adjust the height you are *supposed* to get an alignment done. I would go with eibach springs. You could pprobably get away with stock shocks using the springs.

From bay area to So-Cal... riding on 2.25" Goldlines... Stock shocks... you can definatly get away with the stock shocks... buuuuuuut... you'll need the camber correction kit thingy... so be ware... first i need my rims back... then i'll get the camber thing...

Right now:

1 degree in the front and 2 degree's in the back... not bad... looks like my car is on bags... but its ok... i'm worried more about my tires... that is why i'm waiting to get my rims back...

Anyways... Springs > Coilovers... but the good thing about coilovers is the adjustability...

Are you using the stock struts/shocks ?

I love the way my 3.2 tl sits up like a bulldog. My ride quality is going south and I really want a smooth ride. Can anybody recommend anything shocks, struts. Also the's anybody know of a kit or way to lift the car higher. Done my research but everything I find lowers the car bout an 1inch to 1 1/2.
