ive got the pro kits and they look great IMO. all you need is a rear camber kit, or the free camber mod. they give an aggressive stance, while not being too low. i would go with some tokico struts w/ them. my sig pic really doesnt do them justice...

the H/R sports look nice too. not sure how they ride, but they look tight.

I love my SportLines on KYB AGX's

H&R ride the best absolutly no question...

I have the Tein springs and love them........:thumbsup

I love my goldlines, cheap and no sag guarantee. My car sits right where I like it, just under a two inch drop.

W3rd. I'm w/ ^^^^ on the goldlines. They were the perfect drop imo for myself .. before my RS was totalled. Handle was excellent and the drop was so perfect. Low enough to get rid of wheel gap but not so low that I was scraping everything. Ride quality change was barely noticable. And they were only $110 shipped.

to those with the goldline springs, did you need a camber kit for the front or just the back? Sorry for hijacking. I'll let you know my vote after i put them on.

you can't get ultimate performance and looks all in the same thing. to be absolutely honest our cars would benefit from being lifted over stock height. it make look bad but it will perform better. i'm not going to explain the science again but the easiest tell tale sign is the control arms. at stock ride height on stock wheels and tires our control arms are dead paralell. that means when the car rolls the control arms are positioned above the frame and the weight of the car has to shift at a higher angle into the wheel and springs etc. this is very negative for handling. also just about every spring listed will not be stiff enough for the amount of drop they provide. the H&R's are probably the best of the bunch for performance but they'll hurt your ass on the bumps. point is you can only have one extreme or the other. there's no middle ground on this. the only middle ground you can find would be to mod the suspension as to stiffen it without lowering it.
