well, i tell you about the springs then you can decide which ones you want to go for. the eibach springs are the stiffest and give 1.5" drop. these to me are the best springs for performance. the intrax springs are much softer and i believe they give somewhere around a 2" drop. if you look at james92se's ride, he got intrax. i think the car sits pretty low with them. i would think with either springs your going to have to be carfull when pulling into or outof say..a steep driveway. normal driving wise, i really dont think the eibachs would give you any trouble at all. im not sure about the intrax because i have never used them.

I can tell you which spring no to get

Intrax and body kit (Stillen) does not mix for every day use, granted that combo the best for that slam look.

I'd take CandiMan's word for it. I also have the Stillen kit and I have a sloped driveway. I scrape the front if I don't come out at the right angle and I just have the Eibach's. Wouldn't go lower than that with a body kit, especially if you're getting a fiberglass kit. Stillen is urethane, so it's a little more forgiving.

eibach 1.2"
suspen. tech. 1.5"
intrax 1.75"
sprint 2.0"

i'd only get eibach or maybe even suspen/ tech. with a body kit. anything lower will get messed up.
