Do a search, then call Sam at stranoparts.com (hes a sponsor).
The Eibach's are not good lowering springs, they dont have enough rate for the height. And if your planning on lowering your car at all, you'll want to replace your shocks with Koni's or revalve's from strano, unless you dont mind old truck like ride quality, and very sloppy handling.

i wouldnt say Eibach are bad springs. Its going to come down to personnal prefrence. I would change out your stock shocks unless you only have like 15k on your car. Anymore than that might as well upgrade.
