Sup fellow n00b-

I'm sure either of those spring kits would do you great for better looks and added performance in daily-driving. I question their benefit on the track, though, and wonder whether using the shorter springs with stock dampeners would accelerate damage on your dampeners?

Between the Pro-Kit and Sportline, do some research on the spring rate differences. From what I recall, Eibach marketed the Sportlines as giving a much more aggressive look but they didn't comment on any rate changes. It may be all show.

Does your budget allow coilovers?

first off you stoopid n00b they're called dampers


anyways, the sport system and the pro system both come with shocks and springs.

ben, get the sport system! im pretty sure the spring rates are a little higher than the pro system and if you're changing your shocks and springs you might as well give it a good drop. it'll look better, and you'll definitely appreciate the higher rates on the twisties. just make sure you get it aligned after you lower it.
