i was thinking about getting some but im not real sure what kind to get..if anyone has any info on them please reply....pics would be helpful to..thanks
I lowered mine with the eibach pro set. I absolutly love them. It lowered the car just enough (about 1.5in), the big wheel gap is gone, it goes perfectly with my wheels, and the handling is improved. I like the sport kit as well, as it lowers the car slightly more, but then you have to deal with the rougher ride quality. With the pro kit, ride quality is slightly reduced as going over bumps is rougher, but it is not too rough. For a daily driver it is perfect. Here is a before and after pic.

Used the EiBach Pro's. It dropped the car down around 1.5 inches if not a little more. Just remember when you drove the car at stock height and you rub on some speed bumps or other items, you lower the car you will even rub more.

i used the eibach sportline, to cover the ground clearance i got 18x9 so i wouldnt be too low, i personally like it but steeda, eibach, h&r, ford racing are good types of springs

Here are some pics.
I love the look and feel. It's going to be rougher with the lowering springs so keep that in mind. I live in the Chicagoland area so pot holes and horrible roads are a given. I can feel everything now. It took me a few weeks to get use to it and change my driving habits. Overall the look is amazing to me and it finishes off the car.

I'm considering the same modification as I'm not fond of the wheel gap.
I saw the Vogtland lowering kit that does .8" in the front and 1.2" in the rear. Not sure if anyone has done that one.
I'm not sure if you can just lower the rear-end or if you always have to install new control arms and such.
Anyone have some advice or pointers?
I installed the FRPP lowering springs in the rear only, lowers the car 1.5"in the rear. Stock front gap 2", rear 3.5", so now the car is level.
Transfers some more weight to the back, gets rid of the rear gap, improves handling.
I'm not a suspension expert but have seen no issues with tire wear.
