Whats the best lowering springs 2 go with that will give me a 2inch drop? I was going with arospeed but i heard they suck? So could u help me out?
Where do you live? A 2" drop can cause some problems if you live in Michigan like I do. I have the Eibach Sportlines that give like a 1.75" drop in the front and 2.3" drop in the rear. It looks really nice but the pot holes, speed bumps, and some driveways can be tricky. If the roads where you live are crappy I would recommend the Eibach Pro-Kit. I think they give you an even drop of 1.4". Eibach is also a quality brand.

Michigan I-75 sucks! I bent my new 18" rim on the way back from Flordia. This is with a 2" drop and Konis.

eibach springs are ok, except for the fact that they say they are progressive rate springs but they really arent.
i would recommend the H&R springs, which really are high quality AND progressive rate. just my opinion, but i think of eibach as a "ricer" brand.

How is Eibach ricer? I would only consider springs "ricer" if they are factory springs that were cut.

Excuse me?!?!?! Ricer? Eibach is one of the most well known, most trusted, and most quality brands out there!!!! Many professional race teams use Eibach springs. Wow, that really surprised me that you said that!! Oh well.

what have you been smokin dude?
what is not progressive? about these, the spring rate is not a single measure due to the fact that the spring gets tighter as it goes along.

and Eibach is anything but rice man, they make performance suspension parts. that just about all they make. well valve springs but those are performance too. they make the the springs for ground control coil-overs. so I guess that one of the best coil setups for the J-body are rice too. you know what rice is food man learn the difference. if you put rice under your car the ride will be horrible. especially if it rains on a hot day. mushy ride if I ever saw one.
you guys decide for yourself heres a

But dont push it
For a 2" or so drop I'd also agree with the choice of Sportlines. I have them and besides the crappy ride due to my stock struts (they'll be swapped out in the fall) they're great. Seems to be a very even drop and since they're Eibach,you know they're going to last.
gold line are 2.75 drop plus sag i have em but havent installed them yet im worried about the winter and being low

i really enjoyed intrax springs on a 3rd gen. between those and the sportlines i used later, i'd choose intrax should another 3rd gen find its way to me.
i found the spring rate and ride height more enjoyable. i felt the intrax drop just looked better for my taste.

i totally agree with jux. i have the intrax springs on with koni yellows and i couldnt be any happier! ...and if im not mistakent the goldlines are a 1.75" drop, not 2.75".
It's the car right?.....Chicks dig the car.
goldlines are 1.75, not 2.75
I like my Sportlines just fine
