Default Hotchkis or Eibach Pro Kit?

What would give a better stance? I do know that the Hotchkis are better performancec springs than the Pro Kit, but that isn't an issue.

I'm not sure how the Hotchkis springs are better performance wise... but I have Hotchkis springs right now, and when I replace my shocks, I will be going to a pro-kit. I've driven cars with both and i liked the feel of the pro-kit better.

I have a friend that just got thoes put on like 2 weeks ago, they lowered his car more than what he wanted but hes still happy with em. He put shocks on his car at 10K miles and just put the springs on at 24K and its not bouncy in the rear at all. If we all meet up tonight ill see if he wants to come out and play. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I just put a set of Eibach Sportlines on my 2002 SS a week ago. Stance is killer. No complaints so far. Handles like it's on rails. I'm also running BFG KDW's, like them too.
