Default lowering car question

[hr] 2001 Eclipse GT...
I heard someone had KYB AGX shoks/struts
and Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Springs
and they really liked them.

can someone tell me how low my car will be with that,
and what is the difference between Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Springs
and Eibach Sportline Lowering Spring Set. sportlines are cheeper... and i wana know why, and how low would my car be with sportline springs.[/align]

IMO lowering your car that is a daily driver is stupid if you drop it anymore than an inch, and I wouldn't even do that!!! Your car sits 4 inches off of the ground in the front and 6 inches in the rear.... Why would you volunteer your car to be a snow plow, or road kill scooper??? Lets not even go into the nightmare that we call curbs. I've been to plenty of places where the entrance would rip your front bumber off if it were any lower than stock and it scrapes at this level!!!

I think the Pro-kit lowers our cars 1.5" in the rear and 1.75" in the front. While I've heard from other people with 3G's that the sportlines drop the car 2" all around.

I have the Pro-kit and AGX's setup on my car and I love it. I like that you can change the stiffness on the shocks with ease and the drop isnt too bad on the springs. If you go with the sportlines just know that you will have to be alittlebit more careful while driving then if you went with the Pro-kit.

Either way if you lower your car your going to need to get a camber kit right away for the rear wheels in your car. You wont really have a bad camber problem in thr front. As for the camber kit you can either pay for some aftermarket camber kit or you can go to a place like Home Depot and get the DIY camber kit.
