Eibach Pro Kit with Pics
I went with the Eibach Pro kit until I can get some coilovers. I didn't want to lower it very much and I've never like Sprint or Tanabe, so the Eibach was the way to go.
I haven't driven it much, but i have an autocross tomorrow, so I'll have a good review after that. Until then, here are some pics.

That's the point of the Eibach Pro Kit. It is a small drop. Slamming the car with Tanabe or Sprint isn't the best thing for handling. I can't afford coilovers yet, so this was a good compromise.
The ride quality is exactly the same as stock. I can't tell the difference at all.
I went to the autocross and it made a difference. Either it made a huge difference in the slaloms or all of the sudden I am learning how to drive. Most likely it's the springs. I have been struggling with the slaloms all year. This time they were almost easy. It was wierd. The car felt great and impressed everyone that rode in it or sees the times. The best comparison that I can make is to compare my times to a friend of mine that always beats me. On this type of course, he always beats me by about a second in his 3rd gen f-body with race tires and a LT1 swap. He has done this at about 4 different autocrosses. The time difference is always about the same. This time I beat him. I was shocked. The car feels great on these fast autocrosses. This was a 1.5 mile course with a lot of 3rd gear.

What class are you running? Correct me if I reading the rule book wrong but, A-Stock does not allow lowering the car, not even an inch. However, it does allow you to change struts/shocks as long as it is based on the same stock dimensions (non-adjustable of course). I know that AutoX regional race's are not that picky but divisional's and national's are. Thanks
I personally think it looks sweet!

I just don't like the even drop in the rear. Tanabe actually lowers less in the rear the Eibachs (.5-.75) and 1.75" front, so I wouldn't say it is "slammed" with Tanabe's.
I'm sure it handles good and looks good in person with the Eibachs.
