Default Eibach Pro-Kit or BMR Front Springs?

I have a 2002 Trans am WS6 and I did the heater hose mod in the back and need some front springs. Which one should I get?

I'd go with Strano's or BMR's. Why don't you get a whole set tho? BMR's and even the Pro-kit will lower about .75" or so more than the heater hose will in the rear. It seems like the mismatched rates won't do anything for your ride/handling either, but I could be wrong there.

Or, you could look into getting some Koni shocks that will improve the ride and handling of your vehicle and use the front lower perch with stock springs for about a .75" drop up front.

Another option is to get a set of Hotchkis 1" front lowering springs

I've got a set of the newer BMR front lowering springs, never installed. Decided to go with Afco Double-Adj shocks and springs up front. I could let them go cheap. Send me a PM if interested.

Hotchkis and BMR yes, you can buy new front springs from them, Eibach no.

Strano all the way man. I've never rode in a car with BMR's on it so I can't vouch for how they ride, but I switched to Strano springs from a Pro Kit and it was like the clouds parted and the angels started singing, LOL. 300% improvement in ride quality. It's probably my most favorite mod that I've done to the car

If you want a good set of lowering springs under $200, Google Vogtland lowering springs. Their the same company that makes Strano lowering springs, except the spring rates are different and there spring are progressive in rate.
