Here's my hatch with Eibach Prokits and Bilstein shocks:





I used to have 2" drop Tanabe Superdown Precedeos with Tokico Illuminas but I felt the ride was too stiff even with the adjustable shocks. I have to use my car to commute to work everyday so I wanted a more comfortable setup. The Prokits may not lower the car a lot but the ride is comparable to the stock suspension and you don't need a camber kit either.

thats the exact look I'm looking for. I want to lower it a little to get a lower center of gravity for cornering, but not too much....since I'm gonna be using it as a commuter car and will be like the rest of you guys using it on the infamous NYC streets. How much of a drop does that kit give you? Somewhere between an inch and inch and a half? How much does that kit generally run?

I think Eibach says it's 1.25" drop. Shop around and you can get the kit for about $180.

I couldn't imagine being any lower in NY. Already, if I'm going to cross a sidewalk, like if you're pulling into a parking garage, I have to CRAWL up over over the curb to avoid scraping. That's why most slammed cars in NYC has no paint left on the lip. Personally, I don't see Pro Kit being a compromise either. It's a great set up for auto-xing and track days too.

How is the ride with them? Is it bumpy, or pretty close to stock? Also, how do they perform? Do they do anything for cornering?

Do you have the issue of the look of sagging in the back like I hear is a common problems with the pro kit?
