i say prodrive, just cause they are made for stock struts
oh also this seems like a re-post so please do a search before the forum gremlins come and get you.

well if cost isn't an issue for you, i heard rather good things about prodrive.
eibachs are good as well, i'm running them. I just can't seem to justify paying 300 for just "springs"

Even if money is an issue, like it is for me, I would still have to recommend taking the extra time to save for the Prodrives. Yes they are still made by eibach but the rate of the prodrives are set much more towards the performance driving side of the scale where the eibachs are sort of a compromise of comfort and performance. The pro-kit is much softer in the rear, which is a progressive rate when the front is not. Progressive springs won't give you as crisp a response as linear rates so take your pick.

awesome, thanks for the info guys. maybe i will go with the prodrives. i've heard better reviews for those than the eibachs. its just a question of giving up some comfort (considering my commute) for more performance.
as far as price goes, i should be able to get a deal on the prodrives. so moneywise, they both springs will be roughly the same price.

well, he quoted me $250 for the prodrive springs just now, so i think i will go with those. but the then he quoted me differently the second time around for the p1 wheels....looks like i gotta do some more thinking for my rim choice. i was gonna go with the p1s cuz they were a better deal before. but i dont like them enough to pay what hes asking now. damnit.

its actually from the dealer that i got the car from. i should hurry up and get them before he changes the price. this is the guy that said hed get me the 17" prodrive p1s for $193 each, then changed it to $220 the next week. but the best part is.......he said it would cost $100 per spring to install. and i was like "that includes the price of the springs right?" and he said "no, thats on top of the cost of the springs." LOL, wtf is up with that?
