I am not as concerned with the drop so much as my old springs are shot and I figure i should get some new ones. I wanted to know which ones are the best bang for the buck. The FMS are both $139 from summit but the Pro-Kits are $100 more. Are they really worth it? I was leaning toward the "B's" but do the "C's" handle any better with the stiffer linear rate up front?

I like my C's a little stiff but the car handles alot better & sits perfect (With 1 coil cut off the rear springs)

You could say that it sat up just as high if not higher than stock (rear only). It's quite common with people that use FMS C springs... they even include it in the install instructions.

Heh, i guess it has to do with the front being lower and shifting the weight to front lightening the load on the back... still you would think they would have fixed that.
