Which springs drop my car but doesn't kill the comfort?
I want to drop my car but I don't know what springs to buy which are not that stiff.
I have H&R on my other car but it isn't that comfy, will Eibach Pro-kit do better?

From what I've read, Eibachs would be the best. However, on some cars, the front seems lower than the rear. Personally, I think it's probably the V8 cars that have that issue. Hopefully someone can confirm that.

If you don't have sports shocks already, I would install Koni sports yellows. I hear they go well together. Also non-sport shocks can be worn out by sport springs faster.

this is correct, plus its the same labor. we always mention this, and most choose to do a shock upgrade at the same time as replacing springs. either konis or bilsteins are favored for shocks/struts.
