What do you guys think?

I was looking to lower my car. Wright now it is stock hight with zo6 rims 17x9. I would like to go with Eibach's "Pro-Kit" 1.25 drop, or the Hotchkis 1 inch. Does anyone have any picks that I can see to help me out. Post up picks if you have them and how low the drop is. Thanks for your help.

I have Eibach Sportlines, 2" drop, it has a really good stance, it also has awsome handling. (sorry bad picture)

I second the pro-kit, I sold mine to PSYKOZ28 because I have SLP LT's, was thinking it was going to be a problem that low. lol then I went with springs and coilovers and it came out lower then the pro-kit. Anyways the pro-kit looks sweet. Depending on what tires you run they imo can help a car look lower.

Will the springs get lower after they wear in or stay the same height. Looking to get a nice stance and not tucked all the way down on the tires. If that helps, by the way I am running 275/40zr17 Nittos.

I was considering the pro-kit but I read too many posts about guys complaining that the rear end would bottom out. I also read alot of complaints about rear sag with the pro-kit.

I ended up going with 1" BMR springs because I have a steep driveway and my Magnaflow catback hangs a little low. I'm very satisfied with my decision.

Just something to consider...

i have 17 by 11s and the pro-kit once you roll the fender and get an adj panhard bar youll be fin and the only time it might rub is when some one is in the back and your fishtailing aroud a turn.
