I had the level 1 slp & changed to the pro-kit. It sucked!!!! The rear was really bouncy and rode really bad. I put the Hypercoils on and I love it!! Congrats on a good setup, all lowering springs should have the stiffer spring rates to account for the lost suspension travel.

I agree 100%...I think with the hyperco's the whole car sits level and it seems to me that the prokits seem to sag in the rear, but maybe that's just me....the rear with the eibach's seem to sit lower than the front but the hyperco's are nice and level all around...I love the hyperco's and wouldn't have it any other way!! Congrats on your hyperco's...they are great springs indeed!!

Where did you get the Hypercoils from? I've never heard of them and I just ordered the Prokit and now I'm second guessing myself, Dammit!

I got my Hypercoils directly from Hyperco..... They drop the car very close to the pro-kit, mabye just a little higher in the rear(1/4"). The springs were almost bought out by LG Motorsports, Hyperco had a couple sets left when I got mine. I would definately get a stiffer spring rate than the pro-kit, especially in the rear, don't even put them on!! The SLP Bilsteins work great also.

www.hypercoils.com I paid $214 plus $14 in shipping 2 months ago. They come with a urethane rear spring isolator (goes on axle).
