final choice on lowering springs

ok from what i can see there is three choices of lowering springs right?

there is

sprint lowers (what umm 1.2") price $???

progress lowers 1.8" price $169

B&G lowers 1.2" price $209

Elbach lowers (?) price $225


Which is the best that has been tested here that would be recommended? they all are around the same price so its all on performance and ride and looks.

I have the Eibachs and like them but some people have said they had problems with them. They lowered my car @ 2.2 inches

the sprints casue much vibration though which i dont like. so i switched to the b+g's. i may try the sprints again with goffy's torque brace though see if that cures it. someone mentioned it worked for them

i will say as far as handling wise goes the b+g's are much better than the sprints, they are a decent amount stiffer. but do ride a little harder than stock.

we should make a definative sticky on springs here so these questions can already be answered. just would make it easier.

z, you got the b&g's ? Can you throw some pictures up. I think I am going to get them but I want to see how they look first. Also, how is the ride quality with them compared to the sprints?

had the sprints now have the b+g's hated the nasty vibration from the sprints and wanted a better handleing spring. the ride is pretty good but is firmer than the sprints when cruising cant tell the difference but they handle much better in my opinion. i gotta get the camera from my wife at her grooming shop to take pics see if i can do it today.
