I WANT TO LOWER MY CAR AND I AM PLANING ON BUYING EIBACH. BUT DONT KNOW WHAT SPRINGS TO BUY. THE PRO KIT OR THE SPORTLINE. I WANT THE CAR TO LOOK A LOT LOWERED BUT DONT WANT A BUMPY A$$ RIDE. I ALSO WANT TO FILL IN THE HUGE GAP BETWEEN THE FENDERS AND THE TIRES. I PLAN TO WITH 18'S NEXT SUMMER.

PS IF ANY ONE HAS SOME PICS IF THEIR RIDES IT WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED...

Lowering your car and not wanting a bumpy ride is not a reality...you will want the PRO-Kit as that will lower you @ 1.5" all the way around and give you a ride that is the least effected. THe link below shows my vert with the PRO-KIT

No....the Bilstein setup on the Cobra is better than most aftermarket shocks.

I went through the process of trying to decide on springs a while back. I ended up getting H&R SS, mainly because they claimed a drop right in between the prokit and sportlines. What year is your car? http://members.cardomain.com/chrisbudl1
That is with out front isolaters and stock tires, on a 97. I will say this the extra 1/2" or even a 1/4" Could cost you more than you expect all said and done. But I cant really complain about my setup yet. good luck

Eibach Pro Kit with NO front isolators. I also chose KYB AGX adjustable shocks/struts. 4 way adjustment on the struts, and 8 way on the rears. THIS feature (on whatever shock brand) allows you to soften the ride for street cruising or stiffen it enough for some canyon carving and/or anything in between!

Oh, and my wheelwells are FULL of tire.
