if your father is paying to have your suspension redone, then by all means you should use your stock springs. If you want to modify your car, do it with your own money. I don't like to see cars that are mommy and daddy powered. Not having a go at you, but it's the truth.

LOL Dude Inever stated that they were paying for it all of the stuff ive done and am doing to the car have been and will be paid for by myself. I guess u misunderstand the question. I was askin whether my father was right when he said that I should just use the stock springs that itll be easier and I was looking for an explanation so I can explain to him why the eibachs are better.

if you don't know the difference, then don't mess with them.

if you're doing the strut job, eibachs will probably make your life slightly easier(not as easy as a lower spring might) as you wont have to compress them as much to get the top mount on(didnt have to compress my rear STs and the fronts only needed about 10 turns on the compressor).
as far as mommy and daddy powered cars: i dont like 'em, but if my parents are handing me mods or money for mods, by all means i'm going to accept it.
