usually the lower you go, the harder the spring. sport springs have a 1-1.5" drop and they ride pretty good. race springs will drop you around 2-2.5" but they were too stiff for me. its hard to tell whats good from a review because its someone's opinion. you will have to try a few things to find out what you want. i have tried neuspeed, h&r, tokico, and at the moment i have b&g.

Tein S-Tech with Tokico Illumina struts set to soft will be near stock.

tein s-tech seems like the smartest solution. they give only a 1.5 drop though im not sure if ill be happy with that. well. this is what im thinking of doing. right now i have the tokico illuminas with skunk2 coilovers. and the ride im getting is b.s. im just not pleased. I wanted to get another spring like tein or eibach and use those with the illuminas but still use the sleeve and rings from the skunk2's so i cant still adjust height and what not. is this a good idea? will it work?

You can get comfortable ride or a 2" drop, not both. The Tein S Tech seems like the best compromise if you ask me

i understand that. this is why i want to still use the sleeve from the skunk2's so i can still adjust hieght and it wont risk ride comfort

Anyone have experience with the Eibach Pro-Kit on a Lude? I hear they are supposed to be very comfy yet have good handling characteristics. I have the H&R Sports and have considered getting something else because even these ride a little too rough for me now (getting older, plus the roads around here have major construction, tons of bad potholes and crap).

it wont work.......the adjustable perches and sleeves are designed to be used on a shorter spring and a smaller diameter. using the adjustable perches would do nothing but raise the car up..........won't work
