im looking to give my 89 a new stance (2'' drop) i was wondering if the eibach pro street is a good product? also if i lower 2'' would i have to compensate for anything?
I put a set of Eibach Pros on my '87. Love the stance over stock and combined with the 245/45/17 tires, the handleing is much better also. I did have a set of offset rack bushings installed also to help compensate for bump-steer that comes with a lowered vehicle.
Not sure what the pro street kit is these days (i think it used to be the pro lowering kit), but if the kits are one in the same it's not going to give you 2 inches.
With that said, you don't want that much anyway.
If you really did, the sportline kit does that, but it's almost like taking the spring out completely.
Depending on how far you go, you can possibly need a bumpsteer kit (or offset bushings) and camber caster plates.

He is right, the Eibach Pro kit will not net you a 2 in. drop, closer to 1 1/8 to 1 1/4 in. drop which to me is perfect. I myself would not want to go any lower since I do have long tube headers and sub-frame connectors sitting lower underneath also. And I did fail to mention that I also added the adjustable caster/camber plates to go along with them also.
