Uh. You want to go down more in the front than the rear if anything.
The rear wheel well is actually shallower so it appears lower than the front if you lower both the front and rear say, 1 inches.

Eibach Pro Kit does 1.25 front or whatever and like .25 of an inch LESS in the rear and comes out look even.

Eibach Sportlines look uneven.

Eibach Pro's do 1.3" all around, they aren't different in the front.

I have prokits and they work well with stock shocks.

I would recommend getting H&R and the prokits. the prokits are goign to cost a little more and its a 1.3 drop. While the H&R's are cheaper than the Prokits, but you can either go with the h&r sports 1.7 drop and the oe's which are .75. there both great springs. the choice is yours.

5Zigen R-rate springs :thumbup:
i have them on my car, and the ride is still good... of course, being on stock nearblown shocks, i know the performance benefit of the springs are gone, but looks cool still

i had eibach pro kits for a year, and sportlines for 2 days.

both gave me nasty looking drops...not even close to what they advertised.

the prokits are good with the stock shocks though...nice ride and handled decently.

i'd go with H&R or Neuspeed Sport.

Try Progress Springs...the ride is a lot better than Neuspeed Race I think it's about 2 1/4 drop after it settles...should think about a camber kit as well if you wanna go that low. I have Ingalls...they're pretty sweet and inexpensive!

Yeah. Because your rear wheel well is actually shorter than your front, an even drop basically makes the rear look a bit lower than the front.
