I personally loved the Eiback Pro-Kit/Koni combo. I ran it for 3yrs. IMO its the best street setup you can run. KYB/Eibach would be decent, I ran the Eibach/Tokico combo for about 6-7yrs.

IIRC the Sportline[which is Eibach also] will sit about 0.5" lower, but the spring rates are softer. Seems weird, but thats what I remember. I opted for the Eibach/Koni combo as well, and recently upgraded to Ground Controls with custom rates. Chicago is tough on cars, so being ~1.75" lower than stock while daily driving Chicago was a No-no.

Your car would be unevenly lowered? Have weaker springs in front or rear?

3yrs and 2000 posts later you don't have the sense to search for something as trivial as this..don't waste people's time in this forum next time.
