hotchkis vs. eibach was wanting to get some pics side by side of 2 cars, one with hotchkis and one with the the eibach pro kit. i currently have hotchkis springs but want a little more of a drop but not the sportlines because i hear nothing good about them. is the drop between hotchkis and a pro kit much different? thanks!

No pics, but Prokit is what u want..1-1/4"---1-1/2" drop....if u want more than the 1" Hotchkiss drop, but not the Sportlines..they REALLY drop it...

I got a 98 SS with a pro kit along with revalved blistein and I can't say I recomend the Eiabachs the rear sags and the ride is not the best either the only other lowered car I have driven was my buddies 2000 SS with the H&R's and I have to admit it rode better and looked better than mine.
How about these?

I currently have the eibach prokit on my car with the strano revalved shocks and upgraded sway bars. The handling is pretty good but the rear end seams to sit a little low. Im going to change out the springs for the Strano springs in the next couple of months. Strano is definately the best.
man this makes my decision making even harder...the hotchkis springs are rated at 1" but they look like they lower the car more than that...I love the way the pro kit sits but I hear the rear sags over time, and everybody swears by strano's, but i'm not sure if they sit low enough for me. Will they settle anymore over time?
