Eibach Pro Kit, Steeda, BMR and others have kits that will lower in the 1" to 1.5" range. The panhard rod is a hit or miss I didn't need it, the rear end stayed centered, others had to install one. You will need to realign and may be able to get away with just a toe adjustment but if camber goes too negative there are camber bolts available or you can splurge for the Steeda camber plate kit.
I have the Eibach Pro kit and feel it is not TOO low, in fact if is was any higher it would not look like I even did anything.

I just ordered the Roush rear springs and they should be here this week. I just am lowering the rear and they are about an inch drop. Might not need an adjustable panhard bar but I ordered one anyway. You can get the spring from Stage3Motors for $124.99 shipped.

I'm interested in what you think after you get them installed, keep us posted.

My Torch Red Q has the STEEDAs what else being a STEEDA right. But when we were looking for something for the SEMA car we went with the STEEDAs also. Here are a couple of photos. I like the stance on them personaly.


I'm also curious about which brand to buy. My choices are Eibach Pro-Kit, Sportline or FRPP springs. I'm looking for a noticible drop, preferrably 1.5' drop. But is that to much for a daily driver? And do any of you have the FRPP springs installed. Since I haven't heard to much of them and curious to know their quality.
Can't decide. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif[/img]
Appreciate your help guys. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

I've got the eibach's and even with the body kit (~3.5" ground clearance) its fine as a daily driver. Haven't had any problems thus far. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

Thanks for the help guys [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/worship.gif[/img] , it seems as if the Eibach Pro-Kit is the way to go [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img] . But what is the amount of drop exactly? The sportline kit seems way to much for a daily driver with like a 1.7 in the front and 2.0 drop in the back since I'm afraid of scraping over speedbumps and since my Corsas hang a little, am I right? But do any of you have the FRPP springs or know the quality of them? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif[/img] Since Eibach is like the best in quality.

Someone who has a set of sportlines installed told me they're closer to 2.5". If you even consider a drop like that an adjustable UCA will be required to adjust the pinion angle.
I have the Steedas installed and from what I'm told they're a 1" drop in the front and a 1 1/4" drop in the rear.
Here are before and after shots.

I know everyone here seems to get a woody over Eibach, but every shop I talk to here in SoCal says bad things about them. I went with H&R Supersports, and couldn't be happier. German engineering at it's best.

so do you the camber adjustment bolts with the HR"s or can it be alinged with out them.

Nope, they were able to align and set the correct camber without the CC plates.
