Like anything else... people are going to post the best looking based on what they currently have. In the case of springs, I'm no exception... Eibach Pro-Kit gives an Fbody the perfect stance, IMO.

EVERYONE i've heard that has had Sportlines has regretted it. Surely some people on here will disagree w/ me about that, but sportlines are incredibly low and you will scrape on damn near everything you come across. I couldn't imagine going any lower than my Pro kit.

Iv never heard this and iv had mine on for over 2 years now. Like any other set of springs.... throw on the lowering brackets & an adjustable PHB and you should be good to go.

If you're going to go hotchkis, id go BMR instead (cheaper). IIRC, both drop the car about an inch at the most.

I have hotchkis springs with koni SA's. I have been happy with them. The drop is nice and its a little more than a 1" drop. Check my sig for pics.

DMS Springs, combined with the rear isolator hose mod, gives the perfect stance for an f-bod.....

I have the hotchkis springs. I love the height of my car. Dropped it just over 1", but I also didn't want to be any lower than that. If you want a 1.5" drop or more, the hotchkis springs probably aren't for you.

Eibach Pro-Kit VS Stock:








Be conscientious about what you're driving over and you'll be fine.

Perhaps the reason it sits high is due to the current springs/shocks. Swapping all of this out will probably fix your problem.
