Lowering springs

Something bad happened to my driver front APEX spring its sitting 3/4" too low on that corner so im in need of new springs cant decide between

Eibach Prokit (8208.140) 1" front / 1" rear

H&R sport spring (54688) 1.25" front / 1.25" rear


Anyone have comments or expiriences with either products (these springs or any other Eibach or H&R product)

I think im leaning for the H&R's because Eibach has discontinued that prokit and ive heard the prokit is fairly soft

Also if anyone Knows the spring rates for these 2 spring sets please help out i can't find them

Lastly anyone know of any decent coil-overs other than Ground control?

I believe prokit is 1.3" all around. Also eibach is the oem supplier. Im gonna try and get the prokit for my 01 when I start working on suspension next summer.

The eibachs make a nice 1" drop front and back. It does nicely on the corners too. What kind of struts are you using? There are some that ride lower, just depends on what you are looking for. If you have the money go with Ground Control coil overs.

H&R makes springs for the ae92? i orderd some cusco coilovers and have some new eibach pro-kits i bought them thinking i wasn't going to go crazy with this car. well now with a cusco 5-point roll bar orderd, some poly bushings, caster bushing and plans to stripped the heck out of the interior i'd say i've crossed the line once again.

i'll be selling them with the shocks as complete packeges when my cusco's get here in january. package (condition-new) eibach prokit, shocks koni yellow fronts (condition-new) kyb rears (condition? still works looks new)

asking $300
