I have Eibach sportlines right now with BBK strut tower, Hotchkis c/c plates, Steeda sub frames and rear control arms and a lower K brace. I want road racing handling, i want to take it to a track. I will maybe once a year hit the dragstrip. I was lookin at Bilstein struts and shocks. Is their anything that is as good for handling thats adjustable? Will coil overs handle better than my sportlines? I was lookin at Eibach sway bars, good, bad , whats better? I know I want MM panhard bar, torque arm, K-meber kit, and steering shaft. Any help and input will be helpful.

If you get an MM K-member, you will be required to install a coil-over kit.

A coil-over kit will definitely perform better than the Eibach Sportlines. A coil-over will yield higher wheel rates, a smoother ride vs. performance, and much better handling characteristics.

Eibach makes a really nice swaybar kit...  great price, great quality. Eibach also includes urethane pivot bushings and front endlinks.

Sincerely,

Will the MM 350 pound front spring give me a crappy ride on the street? And what do you think are the best shock/strut set-up? I would like adjustable but if nothing will touch the Bilstein's than I can do without-Thanks

350lb/in is considered a "performance" rating.  If you want something a little lighter, you can go with 325 lb/in in the front.

We always sell the Bilstein struts & shocks with the Maximum Motorsports coil-overs, we rarely sell other brands with the coil-overs.

Sincerely,
