I am going to drop my car also, I'm thinking in springs, eibach or H&R. While the threat is open has someone used eibach or H&R? what are your impressions? how much do they drop the vehicle? Do the improve handling?

lol, did you just copy and paste that?
As he said, there is a very extensive suspension mod thread with plenty of pictures and testimonials. The Eibach sportline kits use progressive rate springs, so it will be closer to OEM ride quality (smaller bumps will be less noticable)

H&R COs are better IMO than my Tein Basics. I sat on my bud's C320 SLAMMED to the ground with H&R and it felt NICE in terms of ride quality.
If money an issue like Rollin said, then Tein Basics is the cheapest and I've been happy with it.
