If you don't want to change the shocks, I wouldn't recommend you lower your car. I have a feeling that you don't care much about ride comfort though if you are looking at the Sportlines, but still wouldn't recommend them (they'll SLAM your car). If you are going for looks, I'd probably recommend the Eibach Prokit. If your shocks have some miles on them, I wouldn't expect them to last very long with those springs though.

If you are an instant gratification type of guy (you want results now, not later), get the Eibach Prokit and be done with it. If it was me, I'd call up Sam Strano (board sponsor), and tell him what you are looking for. I'm sure he's dealt with people on a budget. He could at least get you the Eibachs, and make sure they can be matched with decent shocks in the future should you want/need them. He likes to mix and match different springs from different applications (like using an LT-1 Prokit on an LS1 car, etc) to get the desired effect.
