Thinking about getting that kit. My buddy has it on his SRT-4 and it rides pretty smooth. Should I get the springs or look into coilovers etc.?

Real coilovers cost about $1100. the cheap ones will not ride good at all. If you get springs you should get a camber kit for all wheels and KYB AGX shocks\struts. Other wise like I said stay away from the cheap coilovers they will kill you

oh im not sure I havent ever bought one. I lowered my GS with goldline springs 1.5 in drop and had KYBs but the camber wasnt bad so I never ended up buying the camber kit

ahh....I see. Well i'll have to look into that then. Is the camber really that bad on a 2g to get a camber kit? Just wondering

i don't think if you just get the eibach springs you will need a camber kit. I you get coilovers you definetly need one, but i think the springs only give you about a 1.2" drop which isn't too bad. Its definetly a good kit though.

ok so that kit is recommended?...Also how much is handling going to differ from stock. Will handling and cornering be improved or about the same?

your handling will greatly improve over stock. Especially with that kit.

one gives a 1.2 I think and the other is 2.0
and your handleing will be AMAZING after youll love to drive it around the bends

Great!!
That's the kind of answer I was hoping for. Should I get sway bars to, or just the Eibach Kit?

the more you do the better it will get... I would go springs shocks struts camber kit and strut bar\sway bars and your car will be so stiff in corners you might need some racing seats to hold you in

Any suggestions with sway bars? Haven't looked into them much just the springs.

RRE is the place for suspension they are the masters or making DSM\EVO cornering machines

motor mounts if you want to and then some nice drag radials and you will have some good traction

yea...motor mounts slipped my mind. I think i'll get those to. I picked Eagle F1 tires because my buddy says they work great.

no the best tires to get for traction and be good on the street I say are BFG Comp T\As they work wonders. but cant be used in rain to well or snow forget it
