Not trying to slam Eibach, but you can get a new set of better handling springs for a little more money. Stranos are what you want. In the end you will thank me.

Which Pro Kit is it? If it's the 98-02 kit, save up for the Strano's.

Hmmm... my Prokit springs have been on my car since '05 and I'm about to replace them w/ another set... but I'm willing to explore other options. Tell me about these Strano's. Same drop as the prokit? price? thoughts?

For F-bodies Strand shocks and spring are supposed to be some of the best

Ahh, yeah but a GTO and an f-body aren't the same things.... Depending which set of Pro-kits they are, he could do way better. Think about this, someone is selling them with 2000 miles on them. Why? Maybe they sold the car? Maybe they used something better.

Not all Eibach's are the same, in fact not all Pro-kits are the same for 1993-2002 cars.

I've loved my Prokit springs I've been running since '05. It's just time for a new set since I think they're about worn out.

From my experiences Eibachs will give you a better looking stance (specially with the hose mod). Stranos should be better if you are autocrossing or road racing. 150$ for used springs seems a bit overkill as well. Combine either spring with bilsteins or konis and you can't loose.

Sportline is usually not good for handling or ride quality but is good for that SLAMMED look. I would advise against the sportlines.

I wonder how much it'd cost to get koni's all around on my T/A.

Koni's are probably overkill for most people. I'd guess around 800-1000$
I only upgraded from bilsteins because I got a great deal on them used. I was 100% happy with the bilsteins.

If you don't have anything heavy in the back like subs etc it's safe to remove the rubber rear spring isolators and put the first few coils of the rear springs in a rubber hose. Therefore lowering the ride height a bit.
