The car won't look lowered with Eibach springs.

It won't?
I know lots of rides with Eibach's 1.5" drop.

Eibachs have a reasonably significant drop, but not as much as Sprint.

The main problem I see with Sprint is that they are extremely low in front, meaning you could be riding on the bumpstops a lot, which is extremely bad for handling.

However, Sprint springs are 400lb/in, so they're stiff enough that they can probably still retain decent handling. IIRC Cheston was happy with his Sprint/Koni setup on the track, but he switched out to Progress/Cattman coilovers and was MUCH MUCH happier.

As long as you remember to grab KYB AGX's, spring choice-wise you're probably ok either way. I happen to think Sprint's are too low, but that's just my $0.02.

I think the ride for sprint is a little harsher than Eibach.

I just got Koni shocks/struts and the car looks raised up about 1" from previous.
I left the stock springs in for the remainder of the season. But ASAP I want to get the car much lower (Im running 15" wheels all the time and it looks like theres PLENTY of room to lower. (>3"!)

Help!? What should I do? Springs? Coilovers? Whatever it is needs to perform OK/well at the low setting...

Thanks for any advice.
