Default Eibach Pro-kit

I searched but no luck. Would I need put anything else on my car suspension wise if I just put on the pro-kit, its only a 1.3 inch drop. I just want a less fender space. Are there any good alternatives in springs than Eibach that may be better such as Hotchkis?

Some cars will need an adjustable panhard bar to square up the rear end, mine did not until i changed out the stock rear with the pro kit. The adjustable panhards are around $100.00 so it's not a big deal, and you might need an allingment after install too.

does the rear end look funny and unbalanced without the panhard bar?

Are you adding new shocks to go with those springs? It is highly recommended.

For not much more than the cost of a spring set, you can get the Ground Control front adjustable setup for $225 and then mod the factory rear springs. That's what I did and it is very cost effective.
