for a 2" drop adjustable bolts and links are HIGHLY recommended.
I sell them and lowering springs too

One of the first to install Sprint sporings and have never needed a camber kit. Both tire wear and alignment have never been an issue.

Call me crazy.

nope, i have the st springs.
but a buddy of mine has them on his 3rd gen and they're great. the ride is low and comfortable. not too bouncy and not too stiff. it's the total package in my opinion. i find most springs can only be high and stiff or low and bouncy. or vice-versa = no happy medium.

Dang, I was hoping somebody was running them and could give me some feedback.
IF I ever do a drop on mine I'd either go B&G or eibach
B&G would mostly be from a price / curiousity standpoint
Eibach if I have the extra money

well i drive his car usually once a week so what do you need to know?
you likely already know but just incase...
eibach - 1.3" drop
b+g - 2.0" drop
so i figure the decision comes down to how low you want the car to be.

I have the 2" drop and if yours turns out anything like mine you will need a camber kit. My wheels tuck in at the top and causes my inside tread to get chewed up in less than six months. Do yourself a favor and do the kit you will save yourself problems later.
