Question Suspension set up comparison.....

I have been planning on getting the following:
Eibach Prokit, G2 LCA's,G2 relocation Brackets, G2 Adj. Panhard Rod.

however that will pretty much clean out my wallet. So i found the Level 1 suspension by SLP, which would be cheaper.

But, the G2 products seem alittle bit sturdier and in the end would give me a better setup.
So i'm debating whether or not i should spend the extra money. is it really gonna be worth it?

The Eibach springs are a good choice for a street driver, but please replace your shocks with a good set of Bilsteins valved for these springs. Shocks and springs are the best first step for our cars in my opinion. After that I'd go for subframe connectors, panhard rod, then shock tower brace. The stock sway bars are fine if you have the right spring and shock combination.

Honestly, i just want my car lowered so that it sits right on the 18" rims i just put on. the stock shocks will do for now, i already have the SFC's and STB. The panhard rod, LCA's and reloc brakets are coming with the springs.

you need new shocks with stiffer springs because the springs will kill stock shocks.

Your wheels wont tuck-up under your fender like they do on Hondas or BMWs really. I have G2 coilovers and the rear is as low as it can go, and its lower than the Eibach kit, but you can still see the top of the tread when standing beside the car.
