This is off topic, but a lot of people say not to get them on SN95 models because of issues with rubbing the e brake cable on the drive shaft?

Here are some reviews of people with Eibach
Here

And for Steeda Sport

How do you like your gt-40 heads? I wanna add some more power thought about them but you gotta add p-headers and not sure what else.

Im putting my steeda's on tomorrow probably w/ MM isolators , ill let you know how they work on my 88 vert. I have steeda CC plates on the way too

Personally I like them , but I wish i would of saved up for some GT40X or TFS twist wedge. Maybe it's my cam that's holding me back . Dont get me wrong, it hooks like a motherf, but Im working on suspension right now. The heads only cost me $350 shipped and I sold my old crate motor heads for $200 , so i almost broke even.

I think Eibach kicks butt. I've had Eibach since the first 10 miles were put on my car... 206,990 miles ago. They still hug the road like a glove. Of course, I have other components complementing the springs....

what do you think was wrong with the guy who had the e-brake problem, no one else seems to have had the same problem?

I love them! I installed them just prior to attending a Hotchkis event at Buttonwillow Raceway. I had a blast! The new struts/shocks along with Eibach Sportline springs made all the world of a difference. I have never experienced a strut/shock combo that had such a quick recovery rate. When I'm exiting a turn and encounter a dip, the Edelbrock's keep my rear end down when climbing on the boost and keep me on the track.

you might want to try http://www.maximummotorsports.com/ they have alot of good stuff but more importantly they have coil overs and I am getting these for my car, the cool thing I think about these is that you don't have to kill your self to ge them in. Just go to there web site and check them out. They come in a kit for all four corners and new caster camber plates and some other stuff for about a grand but it is worth it.

Depending on your budget, the springs will be cheaper, but more of an effort to install. The fronts are under a lot of pressure and can hurt you if they are not removed properly! Watch out for the toes! All Maximum stuff is awesome, but the coil-overs do come with a hefty price compared to just a spring change.
