maxspeeds and illuminas would be a good combo, i think a lot of people have that combo and is what i'm probably going to get.
JICs drop anywhere from 0-4" because they are coilovers, so you can adjust the height of the drop

As noted in previous threads, Tein S Tech is a low drop that destroys struts and if you live in an area with bad roads, consult a doctor before installing them.

Maxspeeds + Illuminas, as of this coming friday.
Combined with my RSB, FTSB, and LTB, (and Stage 1 SFC soon), I expect this setup to provide the ultimate compromise between great handling and great ride...
that, and it'll keep me still looking sleeper on the outside...nice subtle drop.

I have a 2k max and I want to do the coil spring upgrades.
Since I live in NYC, the roads are unbearable!
I read all your replies and figured that Maxspeeds are the best for AM.
PLEASE give me your opinion for the best combo for a 2k max in NYC. ALso provide a site cause I am having no luck finding maxspeeds site.

I voted a long time ago, but now I need to change my vote...take one away from "stock" and add one to "Eibach"
I love them - the look and the way they ride and handle.
You can see pics on page 2 of my homepage if you want to see it

I'm with BattleMax, I'm looking for an even drop, not too harsh, with enough room for my 19's. Which spring handles better, has smoothest ride, with the best drop, the Maxspeed, or the Tein H's ? Any and all input would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Eibach + stock strut + 18"X 8 EVO + Sarona body kit = big wheel gap
Eibach + ??? strut + 18" x 8 EVO + Sarona body kit + 15mm wheel spacer = Solution
Please do the math for me, what kind of strut is needed to get rid of the gap. I'm
looking for 0.5" ~ 0.8" more drop or else my front bumper will be snow plower

Just dump the Eibachs and get Progress or S-Techs with Illuminas....

Btw, I bought my struts and springs used off other org members in the 5th Gen Classifieds... might be a good place to start if ya don't wanna blow a whole lot of money....

OK, consider that I am still stock and I want just a bit of a drop without sacrificing a nice, smooth ride, which combination should I go with? I know there is an eibach pro-kit for sale in the classifieds, but how much would I have to spend after that on shocks/struts, and which work the best with the eibachs or H&R's?

Btw, even though the struts determine the harshness most of the time, certain combos of struts and Eibachs have been known to be harsh. In saying that, its all personal preference... so harsh to someone may not be harsh to another...
