with tax season rolling around im going to be getting a good amount back this year and lets face it.... 20 year old suspension is to old my horse needs a update...
that being said, im looking to sit low enough i cant get on the tredmill at emissions but i need to know, which suspension to go with ie. eibach etc... and how hard can it be or should i let a prof. do it for me... im aware ill have to do an allignment afterwards but im not far from a shop that can do that. anyone have any advice, opinions, tricks or tidbits i should know about?

What is your budget? And what exactly do you want? Cornering or drag launch?

Eibach Pro-kit, supposed to be 1 1/2 to 1 3/4ish drop. Springs are $200 and you can put them in yourself. Thats what i run and i like them. Remove the Isos and they sit around 2" lower. Also i didnt need an allignment

spring isolator. each end of the spring has a thick rubber piece that sits between the spring and the body of the car to help with the creaking noises.

I went with a sportline kit (eibach) in my 89 and it was a nice stance. in my coupe I am running the ford b springs and like it as it doesnt scratch on everything. do a search and you will see many pics on here.
