Default hotchkis or eibach

I'm buying a lowering kit for my 99 camaro this week and want to know which would be the best for me, I'm just looking for springs to give my car an aggressive stance and nice for crusing its kind of a dd and sunday car if you know what I mean, just a fun car really I would rather the car do turns than a strait line too even though I'm sure I'll be doing my.fair share of street racing lol

I've ran both Eibach Sportlines and Pro Kit and the Hotchkis springs, I definitely prefer the Hotchkis springs over both Eibachs. The Sportline kit was way too low and harsh for my taste, the Pro Kit is slightly less harsh and not as low, but still not for me. The Hotchkis is the perfect drop (unless you're into the slammed thing). They are more comfortable than both Eibachs for sure. I can't really compare handling because my neither Eibachs stayed on the car long.

The car in my sig is sitting on the Hotchkis

I have the Eibach LT1 Pro-Kit (93-97) on my TA and I've been pleased with them.
Have considered Strano's Springs?

I would go with Hotchkis from the choices giving, have you considered Strano's? I just got my installed and the car sits perfect on my 19"s.

Hotchkis. My buddy ran them with Konis and he still raves about them. Almost similar spring rates to Strano, but the shocks really do make or break the spring. (not literally of course.)

I was going to go with Strano or Hotchkis, but decided to trust Strano and go with his entire suspension setup. (Still have yet to order springs/shocks to replace my Eibach/Bilstien.)

Check BMR. They are running an awesome offer on their springs and Konis as a combo. Best offer I have seen ever on such two quality items.
