they seem to be the leadin brands
and both have good reviews, around the same prices
if i go with Eibach do i get sportline or Pro-Kit
i guess im lookin for about an inch and a half drop
i know to low hurts handlein

Too low does not hurt handling, improper suspension setup hurts handling. A low center of gravity will almost always improve handling characteristics, assuming you correctly setup the rest of the suspension. I'd go with the Eibach pro-kit, with some nice adjustable shocks. Inexpensive, pretty good quality for the price.

i have the money right now, but im debating lowering it, or savin up for the BP-T, i could afford to buy the springs like today, but that would set me back atleast 2 weeks on the engine and tranny
which i cant get until late june
i dunno....
im bad at savin up

join the club, i guess it depends what u want man, we cant really make that call for you, its ur car after all, if its power u need, go for the engine, if its handling and a lower stance u want, go for the spring set up
idk thats my 2 cents

save up for the motor. you'll be MUCH happier after you drop that shit in there, then you'll have PLENTY of motivation to work on the other stuff, like body and suspension. just MY 2 cents...

i would definently go with the springs now dude. there's nothing that makes a car look and drive better than springs. i'd go with the sport lines- i think thats the lower one. i've never heard anybody talk bad about eibach. do it up with the springs, that motor can wait 2 more weeks. throw some brake cleaner at that leak and then hit it with some RTV silicon. little ghetto but.

the closest they make is a miata...and from what i hear they dont fit
im planin on the eibachs, but if i end up gettin those rims they come with ZENNs for free...and it seems like theyre fairly good quality, just makin sure they were safe...since free always sounds too good
but if i were to buy springs by them selfs im planin on Eibach
