Any reason why your completely sold on one of the Eibach sets? There's a ton of different spring choices for the 4th gen. Much better ones are available.

I'm assuming if you can't afford 60 bucks more for a better set of springs, then you also won't change your shocks?

If that's the case then don't bother. Keep what you have now.

Here's my Firehawk, it has sportlines on it. It sits to low in the front and the tires lean in. I hate that. I have some Strano springs waiting to go on, saving up for some struts now. The car looks pretty good in the pic, but you can't really tell how low it is. I have some more I will post.

I have the pro-kit. It rides nice with the bilstein shocks I have. However it seems like the springs are a little too soft for the amount they drop the car. I'm thinking about getting new sway bars.
