What Springs Do You Think Are Better

I'm gettin some 19s later this month and I was planning on lowering my car. I was thinking about either getting Comptech or Eibach Pro Kit springs. My question is if I go with the Eibachs would my tires rub b/c its a 1.8/1.5 drop compared to 1.5/1.0 with Comptechs, and would I have to do anythign else?

Could some post some pics of some cars with both types of springs installed so I can see the drop difference?

Thanks

Oh yeah I plan on going with a 225/35/19 or 235/35/19 tire

I agree! Get the CTs unless you have $925 then I would recommend going with the Tein Coilovers so you adjust to whatever height you like.

Looks like I'll be going with the Comptechs then. Thanks for the help. I'll post some pics as soon as I decide on a digital camera.

if you want a real nice drop go with the eibach's or the h&r's. if you want a very conservative drop go with the comptech's. I went with the eibach sportlines and I ran 19's w/out rubbing whatsoever. The biggest factor will be your rim and tire sizing. You've got to get the correct size or else you'll rub.
