Default help!

I have a 1993 TA and I would like to do a 1" drop and shocks. What would the best spring/shock combo be? I was thinking eibach pro kit and bilstein shocks. I would like the front and rear to sit leven when finished.

Define "best". Best ride? Best handling? Best for launching?
Eibach doesn't offer a 1" drop to my knowledge, many people with the prokit get a lower than advertised drop (over 1.3").

yeah, my bad. I want best handling. Even though the springs are a little more drop than advertised, are they any good?

I had the hotchkis springs on my car for a while. they advertised a 1 inch drop, not sure how much it actually was, but ride was pretty good.

The springs are supposed to be decent, not the best though. The shocks is what you need to really look into, bilstiens are alright with stock springs but just don't cut it with lowering springs.
Give Sam Strano a call @ stranoparts.com, he is a sponsor here and a multiple SCCA champion so he knows what hes talking about.
With the suspension mods in my sig you wouldn't even believe its the same car as stock.
