The best ride w/ lowered height

I want to maintain a drop on a 3rd gen I'm buying, but I want it to ride nicely. I was considering the Eibach 1.2" drop springs all the way around. Will that still keep the ride somewhat nice and less choppy than anything else on the market?

Also, what shocks/struts would you recommend with the springs you recommend? Again, a nice ride that feels as close to stock as possible, but can grip the corners when you need it to.

Thank you.

Koni struts have the best balance of handling/ride...They are adjustable also..

Are these the ones that you are referring to?

Will they work with springs that drop it 1.2"?

You think the Eibach's are the best ride?

Thank you.

They're about $12 off your mark and their shipping is free.

Let me get to that step, as I'm in the planning process, I'll shoot you an email and see if you can work me a package deal. If you can give me a better price... ...then you'll be the guy I'll go to.

Brian[internetautomart] may be i little higher on parts,but you are going to get the correct part from him...And you will get service after the sale with him also..<-----Worth the few extra $$ IMO...

Ebay car parts sellers are quite notorious for sending the wrong parts,especially for the 3rd gens..

That sounds a bit harsh if you're trying to build rapport with your potential clientele.

The truth hurts.
eBay is slowly killing the local store.

True to a point, but even you must admit, 90% of the "local" stores not only don't know what they are talking about but also refuse to believe they dont.

Those would be the Autozone stores. I'm referring more to the Mom and Pop stores that don't turn over people every 3 weeks. they are few and far between anymore.
