Help with lowering X

I think stock X is just a tad too high and want to lower it, i was looking Eibatch Pro Springs would i loose any performance over stock suspension? also i was looking at BC coilovers i've heard alot about BC and i dont know wat to belive lol.

I just want to gain bit more performance + looks its mainly DD car and once in while i wouldnt mind giving it a go on track.

Based on looking at the spring rates and drops, I would strongly recommend the Swifts.

I have the Eibachs Pro Kit and I really like them. The drop was @ 1" all around, and now I have 18x9.5 wheels and the stance looks real good.

Is there any performance loss when you go with springs?

Depends what springs. If they lower the car too much, then you're out of bump travel and your suspension geometry is no good.

Any spring that lowers the car greater then 1.5 inches probably is not an improvement. I wouldn't lower the car more then an inch personally.
