Default Best Lowering Springs? No Coilovers!

Hey guys, looking to drop my 05 a little. What is the best spring, I don't want coilover's, just a nice drop spring will do for me. I have used Eibach in the past on my 02 PT Cruiser and was very pleased. Is Eibach the best for the Neon as well?

Very good kit (gotta be one of the best). I haven't heard of anyone with any complaints about them.

I've got them. Its a nice kit. It helps out in the handling department some. But prepared to deal with increased stiffness. You will feel bumps much more then before. I don't know what the "best" lowering springs are, but I am happy with mine. I like how much it dropped my car and it improved my handling some, so I am happy with mine.

I have had Eibach before and was pleased, my friend had a 01 ACR and put H&R springs on and loved them. I now converted over to KW Coilover system and I am very pleased with the outcome. It cost a lot more, but I feel that it was well worth it

I would go with the eiback, they make 2 different kits, depending on what you want, if I am correct

Yeah, pro kit and sportline. Sportline will drop it a lot.....I believe 2 inches all around. Pro kit is 1.5 all around. But to be honest....I have the pro kit and it seems like it dropped mine about 2 inches all around which I like. But I would imagine the sportline would drop it even more then 2.

I am also puttin on the sportlines on my 2000 neon this spring. Are the Tokico Hp struts a better strut than the KyB's?

I believe they are a little stiffer. Aren't they adjustable too?
