Help on the low down....

I have sport susp now, but looking to lower and don't want to give up to much of the ride, since I am on the road quite a bit. How much difference in ride will there be if I install Eibach or H&R springs? The Eibach's say lower by 1.4" in Front and 1.3" in Rear and the H&R's say lower by 1.3" Front & Rear.
I would love to install coilover's, but that'll have to wait for the $$$$..
Thanks for the help

You can get Koni CO's...

...for $899 at shox.com

Just a few hundred more and you can custom tailor to your preferences. Has height and stiffness adjustability.

pain in the behind to properly tailor...

might be better of getting H&R sport with bilstein, stick with stock sport rims and tires and you won't feel the stiffness that much

What kind of tailoring difficulties can one expect with Koni's.

difficuties referring to..

coil overs...
koni is not that difficult as long as you make sure you have the same "clicks" on both shock, i.e. same stiffness

unless you want to go back and forth to change it, then it'll be quiet a hassle because you will have to take it off to adjust it.

Further clarification...

...the height can be adjusted on all four conrners while on the car. The stiffness setting can be adjusted as well, BUT you HAVE to remove the fronts to adjust them. The rear can be adjusted while on the car.
