I have Neuspeed sports with kyb agx's and I love them. I have a 1 finger in back and 1.5 in front for some reason. But it's not noticeble. After 3 weeks now, it dropped the front and back by 1.5" It should be 1.75 in front though(don't know why it's not) Tight turns. I would highly recommend both the sports and agx's. The lowest place for me is the mud guard in the front, 3 1/2" off the ground. But everything else is higher. Have only done some slight scraping.

Do a search, you will find some great information or spring and strut setup.
yeah, they're all made by H&R, but i know that the H&R sports and the neuspeed sports have different spring rates and offer a slightly different drop.

I found these number were very conservative. but in anycase, if you go any lower than the prokit there are 3 things you need to worry about:

1. scrapping/rubbing/bottoming-out
2. vastly decreased shock-life (for the stock dampers)
3. you might need a camber adjustment kit/installation, which can run as much as the springs did.

eibach is notorious for uneven drops. i personally wouldn't reccomend them

this is the first I've heard of that, I don't think you can say they are "notorius". besides, everyone seems to think they handle the best.

I've heard that they give the most stock like ride. H&R or Neuspeed handle better from what I hear. And I know a few people who's Eibach springs continued to get lower and lower over the years. But I've never had them so I can't say for sure.
