i cant decide what springs i should go with. i already have sport suspension but would like the car to sit lower when i put my wheels on in the spring. i would like to see pics of either setup to help me decide. i searched the gallery but mainly saw cars with 20's on these springs.

thanks

Yep, those are on sport suspensions. Ride quality not affected as my wheels are 19"s but I am not sure what the ride quality is if the car is on 20"s. My main problem now with a lowered ride is humps/steep slopes. The front keeps scraping the floor. dang it!

I am about to be your test subject..... I have sport suspension and went with Eibach Pro. The springs came in the other day and now I am hoping to find a free day to get the car into the shop for installation.

Check out my gallery when you have time...I have Eibach Pro-Kit and 166 wheels. My car has the sport package as well.....I like the look and the ride quality is tighter compared to the standard sport set up.
