    How much drop are you looking for?

    Is the the car ever going to be tracked, autocrossed?

    Is your car a daily driver or a show car?

    Etc...

    Vogtland Springs with Bilstein Struts is a great combo. Mildly aggressive drop with excellent struts (think OEM)


    I really have no idea what I am doing

    I have Eibach Pro-kit springs paired with dual acting struts/shocks. Lowered me about 1.5". The ride is a little stiffer than it was with the factory sport susp, but it's still very comfortable. Takes bumps (like small chips in hwy pavement, and manhole covers) at speeds higher than 35mph very well, barely feel them throughout the cabin. Bumps taken at lower speeds are easily decipherable, but not harsh. Had the springs on over 30k miles and they're still firm, like they're brand new. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

    I'm very happy with my H&R Sports. When my stock shocks wear out, I will replace them with some Bilstein shocks or maybe some coilovers if I have the fundage. I like where the springs put me heightwise and I prefer the ride better than stock.

    Yes the OE struts and shocks work with the Eibach kit.
