slamed or lowered Need some help deciding on how low to go. Im looking to go with 1.25 inches or 1 inche. Eibach sportline "1.25" or Hotckes "1" inche. But I have hooker long tubes with 3 inch y pipe, I dont want to hit on everything. If anyone has any picks of their cars please post. I was told that that both springs will get lower once the brake in. Thanks for the help.

I went with DMS and couldn't be happier with it. It lowers just right, I dont really scrape on anything except for my drive way 
, but it can take any speed bump. I get alot of compliments on the stance as well, I would definatly recomned getting shocks along with it to though.

Ok, well personally, I wouldn't go with the Eibach, I have the sportlines in my car, and I scrape like hell on about everything..Speed-bumps, driveways, potholes, hafta be very careful about, I hafta take most things at an angle, but I really like the look..

I got the Eibach Pro-Kit 1" and they are just right. With the long tube headers though, you might have some problems lowering your ride even that much. Check it out and see.
I checked into the Hotchkiss springs for my ride when I dropped it... great springs, but overpriced, IMO.

i have DMS spings and they are sweet. not too low just right. you can get them directly from dynamic motor sports. dynamicmotorsports.com
here is a pic of my car with dms springs not the best of pics but so you get an idea how much they will lower you car. aporx 1.3 front 1 inch in the rear.

Thanks for the help guys. If you all have anymore picks please post. The cars look nice lowered but I still havent desides on how low. Like the way Imj's and Sliver02TA's cars look but I also like the way the Brian2006's car looks. What size rims do you have Brian2006. Thanks for the help.

Silver02TA that set up looks great. i wanted to drop my car but i wasnt sure cause i dodnt want it to be too low and i dont want to b scrapping all the time like some of my friends with eibachs are. how much did u pay for parts and labor?
sorry to steal the forum but now that we're on the subject, my suspension squeeks real bad when im going over speed bumps or when im stopping quickly or just when im riving it sounds pretty bad does anyone else have this problem? or does anyone know what it could be?
