I have Eibach Sportlines and Love them, the handling is great. The drop is nice, Its a 2" drop and mine settled in at about 2-1/8" to 2-1/4". I personally wouldn't run anything other then Eibach's for springs, A+ product.

the photos aren't the best cause not totally on a level surface but you can get an idea of what the drop looks like.

They may be a little more expensive but they are worth it. Sometimes you get what you pay for. Now I'm not saying any other spring company out there isn't good, I personally think eibach is one of the top brands out there for springs.

That looks great!

Eibach makes a very nice spring. I had sportlines on my old car, and while it was a drastic drop the ride was really nice.

Thanks for the compliments ReyS & Ihearzombies......I ended up adding the Monroe Shocks a while back and it made the ride even nicer. I think that the ride is amazing. you will find after installing these springs that you can hug corners and feel the difference from stock, No body roll or anything. Feels kind of like a go-kart....lol. I waited for the stock shocks to wear out before I replaced them. Its worth spending the money on the shocks. I think I payed about 34.50 each for the rear shocks. Its a quick and easy mod to do as well. Takes longer to get the car jacked up then to switch out the shocks.

I haven't used them on the Box, but I've had them on several other cars in the past, and I can say their quality is A-1. No droops, no mismatched heights, ever. They ride pretty decently on normal roads, but can be a bit "crashy" on rough stuff, especially high-frequency bumps. The pay-off is that the improvement in handling and control has been dramatic in every car I've used them on.
I'd give them a definite "thumbs-up", but just don't expect a limo-type ride on anything less than a fairly smooth road.
