I, myself, prefer coils rather than just springs. If I have to go through with the hassle with alignment, camber kits, etc., might as well bite the bullet and go all the way and get coils.

Are coils better or springs? Are there advantages vs. disadvantages to each?

I am getting the Eibach Prokit installed this Friday. Only a slight drop of 1.2 front and 0.8 Rear.

Just what Doctor G ordered to get rid of the small but unsightly wheel gap from the factory.

i will definately be lowering my car (once it arrives-told early june) going with eibach pro kit...wasnt thinking of getting the camber kits though...i thought i read here that a good allignment (at the dealer perhaps) would pretty much get the wheels very close to original camber...

Where are you buying it from? I'm having a hard time finding a decent place with decent prices within the GTA.

Mid to high 3's, I'm considering going to the classified, even with x-change rate and border taxes still works out cheaper. Would prefer however to invest my $ within the GTA if I can get a comparable price.

Roads & Speed Bumps in Dubai aren't any better trust me. I'd be super careful with a drop. Eibach is pretty safe just take'm slow and with an angle. I wouldnt drive around with 3 passangers with me too

I was getting a full vehicle car wash and when they lifted my car up, my driver side round CF muffler, well let's just say it ain't round anymore lol

Assuming mid to high 3's is parts only?

Best price I found from a reputable installer is $550 w/o balancing.

I opted for Eibach because of feedback from other G owners, plus it is a conservative drop that only removes the wheelwell gap...not into the slammed look anyway.
