if it not a serious track car or autocross car, it doesnt really make a big difference.

If your talking about the SLP Eibachs with the SLP Bilsteins then they are matched. But if your talking about the Eibach Pro Kit and regular Bilstein HD's I would say no. The SLP suspension stuff is different than the regular Eibach and Bilstein.

My best advise to you would be to call Sam Strano.

If you lower you'll need an adjustable PHR. Get some revalved Bilsteins from Sam Strano if you're set on that brand. Koni shocks would be a good choice also.

Couldn't be further from the truth..... His spring choice will not only determine the drop but there is a plethora of spring rates to consider, which will dramically change the ride and handling characteristics of the car. Not to mention the correct choice of shock valving.

dit666..... IMO, your selections will make a HUGE difference on your enjoyment of the car. I second a call to Sam Strano if only to educate yourself.

Scott.
