Sprints or Eibach the question!!!!

Looking to get my hands on some lowering springs I wanted the H&R OE sports but to no luck. Now I am looking at either sprints or eibachs, I can't remeber if there was a post on thetwo or not??? I live in the dreaded bartertown streets of NYC so we all know that clereance is the main concern both for summer and winter driving!!! What is a good one to go with?

if clearance is the concern then go with Eibach.

i love my eibachs, but can't speak for the sprints. The ride is great, even on the crappy pittsburgh roads.

Yeah, I would also go with the eibachs. I just got them and the car sits noticably lower. Although I'm not sure about the sprints, the handling with eibach/tokico is awesome!

well thanks, it looks like i will lean towards the eibachs!! But brad how is the ride with the tokico struts? choppy @ all? I have a friend with a 99 max and he went with the tokico struts and the sprints and the rear struts have failed on him and he never drives the car @ all!!! I guess maybe the 2.0 inch drop all the way around did the tokico's in??? I can get the Eibach prokit for like 229.00 in my area, what line did you go with? the Prokit or the Sports line??

The ride is pretty nice, you can feel some of the bumps a little more, but its pretty close to stock. If you have stock size rims Im sure that it'll be smooth. From what I've heard, the tokicos can handle the eibach drop fine, but will wear out with a big drop. I went with the prokit, I dont know if they make the sport line for our cars. I bought everything from shox.com.
