i have eibach sportlines and i think the drop is perfect, the ride is good too. They are the only springs i have had, so i don't have much to compare them to though.

Eibach ... either pro-kit or sportline. I guess it depends on what you're looking for. Pro-kit will be a better ride, but not as low. The sportlines will be low and stiff, but not as good of a ride.

For street only, Eibach Prokits or HR Sports work great. I wouldn't bother with either of those if you track it at all.

"good" is subjective. i had H&R sport springs and thought they were "good" until i drove a car on custom rate coilovers. I thought my paradas were "good" until i drove on Azenis.

If you're not gonna contribute anything meaningful to the thread why bother posting? I've gone through like four threads in this forum where you posted a similar response. "skunk 2 " really isn't gonna help anyone make an educated decision. If you're so big on the Skunk 2 stuff then at least give reasons why "skunk 2 "

In a nutshell....

S2
Sprint
ST
Progress
Neuspeed

Take your pick. As a lowering spring, they all work great.

OK, i thought i'd point something out to you but apparently you take great offense to that. I guess asking you to give much of an informed opinion is probably asking too much of you anyway. Could you even list any of the "specs" about these springs/lowering sleeves? The original poster didn't even mention either of your suggestions. There's nothing wrong with bringing something else up in the discussion, but at least give some reasons why you think they should go that way. Why should someone consider going with Skunk 2 lowering sleeves because of your "Skunk 2 " ? That's a pretty asinine way to make a decision if you ask me (i'm sure you won't). I didn't offer up any "oh so great" info because i have no direct experience with any of these products and as such i won't offer any advice based on someone elses comments. You have experience with both the products you suggetsed, yet you offered up no more info than "i'm happy with them, they give me no problems, and they don't squeek" and that had to be prodded out of you. Can't you give him some idea how they rode, maybe how much the Neuspeeds lowered your car etc.? I'd give advice on stuff i have no direct experience with, but i don't want to be CONTORDICITONG myself

so do you really think "Skunk 2 " is much of an opinion? Maybe we should just start threads for opinions on purchases, list a few choices and then add up the number of "Brand X " each product got and whichever one has the most , buy that? How can you expect someone to consider a product based on that kind of an "opinion"?

OK, i've argued with you enough over this, and you still just don't get it. I'll refrain from whoring this post out any further after this post. You just keep on giving people advice like you currently do, i'm sure alot of people will take that advice and give it alot of thought. Hell you'll probably become a moderator, or maybe even a spokesperson for someone like Skunk 2 with advice like that before too long. If you wanna continue this discussion with me, please do it through IM, i'd be happy to argue with you there. If you have any other products that you feel are please don't hesitate to list them, as i will definately run out and buy them based on your expertise.

if you are considering eibach also check out B&G springs. progressive rate just like eibach, and built in germany i run them with a 1.7'' drop on a 96 accord ex w/ kyb gr-2 shocks and am extremely impressed. one of my installers i work with has eibach pro kit on the same shocks on a 98 accord and the car just feels sloppy compared to mine. the ride quality is much worse with the eibach springs also, he gets jealous whenever we ride in my car. B&G has been making springs in germany for something crazy like 80 years and just now started bringing them to the US.
