I was thinking about just getting the eibach pro-kit but thought it might be a little rough. I know nothing about suspension so some of what I say might be dumb. If I buy THIS is there any advantages of this vs the pro-kit? Will I need to buy anything else to go with this stuff? Is there anything else better? I want it lowered about the same as the prokit would do.

Would the pro-kit make the 1/4 time slower?

Yep, it says set of 4 - 2 struts 2 shocks. I had the Eibach on my 96 (which I no longer have) anyway the ride was great and the stance was awesome.

I would also recommend changing your struts and shocks at the same time if they are old.

If money isn't an issue, I would think that the Tokico setup would be the way to go. I have never gone with a coil over setup like this, but everyone that does seems to really like it. Tokico is a great name. My brother-in-law has the 5-Way Adjustables on his Fox-Body and loves them.

thats not a coil over setup. it says it works with stock or lowering springs. stock isnt coilover, so these are not coil overs.

I just replaced my front pro-kit with some coilovers for my bilsteins and i must say that it was a HUGE improvement over it. But the pro-kit did feel good with the bilsteins.

that sounds nice to do but sounds to expenisve. How bad will the ride be with stock shocks and the prokit?

also does anyone have a pic with the prokit?

Atleast the pro-kit is a progressive type spring. the coils will independently get stiffer insted of the entire spring so it will give a smoother ride and that extra little drop.

I installed the prokit this past spring and although the ride is somewhat 'rough' compared to stock the improved stance is well worth it. I'm running 18s & stock shocks/strus-I'm saving for the Bilsteins.

is there anywhere where I can order a complete coilover kit that includes everything I need? I am thinking coilover is going to cost too much

edit:

If I go with the eibach pro-kit will I need to order anything else like the caster camber plates?

try doing a search for coilover kits.
anythime you lower more than about an inch you should used c/c plates, i havent got them yet but i dont see any abnormal tire wear
