I am not 100% sure but I think the SLP kit is Eibach Springs with Bilstein HD shocks. No the Eibach's are not good springs. Bouncy ride and they lower the rear too much.

Look into Hotchkis, BMR, DMS or Strano. IMO those are the 4 best springs.

I have them on my vert. They do lower the rear more than the front. But I think this is typical of all Eibach springs.

Short answer: the various Eibach springs are ok, but there are better choices for the same approximate cost.

This assumes you mean better in terms of handling performance, not in "as low as possible for as cheap as possible and who cares how it rides". That would be cut stock springs. It would ride and handle like crap, but it would be cheap and low.

SLP has Level1 (Regular SLP springs) and Level 2. Level 2 are a bit stiffer so I went with thema couple of years ago. Stil have them now and this is how the car sits with them.
