"Best" is subjective. What is your goal?

Goal is to achieve the best drop with minimal loss of ride.

We seem to be stuck in this loop. "Best" drop, again, is subjective.

Ok, I'll stop playing grammar nazi now and offer up some advice.

I would like to start off by saying I haven't lowered my S197 yet, but I did own a 99 Cobra that I lowered "the right way".
What's the right way, you ask? Well, I can tell you what the "wrong" way is. By just installing springs only, or dare I say cutting coils on your stock springs.

The right way involves purchasing all the necessary parts to keep the geometry in alignment and handle the increased spring rates.

First you have to decide if you want to do a coilover conversion kit or stick with the standard strut/spring combo.

Then you'll want to consider things like:
  • struts
  • shocks
  • springs
  • caster camber plates
  • ball joint kit
  • bumpsteer kit
  • pandhard bar
  • rear LCA relocation brackets

I'm sure there is something else I'm missing off the top of my head....

I feel that these Eibach springs have the right combination of looks, handling, and ride quality.
