I'm thinking about ordering Bilsteins and FRPP C springs tonight. Seems like a good combination to me. What do you guys think?

If you're spending the extra dime on Bilsteins, may as well get the whole enchilada, like a Maximum Motorsports package.

if you just want new shocks/struts and springs, i would buy the bilstein shocks/struts and the coilover kit w/ springs from maximummotorsports.

What are your suspension goals?
Where do you want better handling, street or track?
Budget?
Are you upgrading after the springs and shocks/struts?

You should answer those questions first BEFORE you buy anything.

What are your suspension goals? Lower the car some but not to much, don't want to harsh a ride, want to beable to hook at the track and better handling is always a plus.

Where do you want better handling, street or track?
Budget? Track

Are you upgrading after the springs and shocks/struts? I will be getting upgrades but what kind of upgrading are you talking about? The only other mods I have in mind are

1. tires, rims
2. dyno tune

COIL OVER KITS A PRETTY EXPENSIVE, AT LEAST FOR ME. I THINK C SPRINGS WILL BE TOO HARD A RIDE. PRO KIT IS PROBABLY BETTER SUITED BUT IT DOESNT LOWER THE CAR ALL THAT MUCH BUT IMPROVES HANDLING QUITE A BIT. I AM IN THE SAME DILEMA. I AM DECIDING BETWEEN THE SPORTLINES OR THE PROKIT..

This is true--personally I love the "C" springs on my car but it's not my DD. They are definitely stiffer than the "B" springs.

C springs will result in a harsh ride. I just installed B springs and the ride is similar to stock.

After installing the B springs I measured from the ground, through the wheel center cap, to the fender opening is 27.5". The rear is exactly .5" higher.
Not a big drop but a nice balance between comfort and performance for a daily drive.
