Default I think I've found my shock/strut/suspension combo, but...

I think I've found my shock/strut/suspension combo, but... I do have a few questions. I know I'm going to go with either the Eibach Pro Kit or the Eibach Sportsline Kit. Is the Sportline Kit to big of a drop though? Also, in regards to shocks/struts I've been looking at the Tokico HP Series or the TokicoD-Specs from Americanmuscle.com.The only difference between the two (besides price) that I see is one is adjustable. Is there anything different between the two? Any suggestions or comments would be very helpful.

I have the pro-kits and tokicos and couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase. i'd recommend the adjustables over the non-adjustables in any shock/strut setup.

Go for the d-specs, you'll thank yourself later. As for the springs, it all matters how the roads are where you primarily drive. With the pro-kit you still have to be careful over speed bumps, whereas with sportlines you have to worry about speed bumps, pot holes, steep driveways, etc. The sportlines also have a stiffer ride quality than the pro kit, so this is where the d-specs will come in handy. As for myself, I am currently running dspecs with sportlines and I love the look. Ride quality was simply fixed by adjusting the dampening. Keep in mind, with the sportlines you WILL NEED either camber plates or camber bolts (much cheaper).

I'm running the Pro-Kit and Tokico HPs, I didnt really care for the adjustability in the D-Specs but, overall the HPs are a really, really good Shock/Strut to go with and are a MUST if you are going to lower your car
