After painting my car and getting bullit rims for it, I was thinking about lowering it. Onlly about an inch due to the long tube headers. So far from my research I've came up with the Eibach Pro kits for $260 and the FMS C springs for $140 from Summit.

2 questions. Why the $120 price diffrence and what spring is better and why.

I thank you in advance for your replies.

I am happy with my c-spring sbut next time I would probably go with the G (i think) springs as my rear is sitting too hihg. i have to try removing the isolators or cutting a coil.

The big thing is what are you going to do with the car? Mine is a DD so i didn't need anythig exotic when it came to suspension (granted I still spent close to a grand).

I just want to lower it for looks. I Auto-x part time. Maybe 3 times a year. So nothing really for performance gains.

Check Ebay for tokico kits(springs/shocks) I picked up mine with Illuminas(adj) for $550 shipped. It lowered it an inch but then I pulled one isolator out because I wanted just a bit more. They ride fantastic.
