all pretty good choices...

i have sportlines with no complants, but i heard plenty good from all the others as well.

my suggestion is to look for the best deal out of them.

Have these also on stock shocks. Really good, but I need to get real shocks....maybe this summer.

Overall, well worth the money and they aren't that expensive. I got mine from tirerack with my wheels.

I have Eibach Pro-Kits, which are pretty nice. It depends how much you want to drop the car...

The Sportlines drop like, 2"-2.5" or something like that. They're cheaper than the Pro-Kits.

I trust the Eibach name because I have one of their products, so no complaints here. :clap

my H&R sports will be here friday (scheduled delivery date). I've seen neuspeed sports on my friends teg, they looked great and handled awesome. as for eibach, i've heard(info from friends) that they give an uneven drop. but they are a very reputable brand.

actually it gives a EVEN drop. which is bad because usually our cars are a bit higher in front. but for some reason my car was dropped perfectly with eibachs.

Eibach probly looks the best, but if you really want the performance H&R is the way.

Oddly enough it has always been the passenger side. I recently had my Toe in set to zero and that set my camber at -1.6 now I rub like crazy.
I think its the tires tho, I bought some cheap brand Runways for the front, 205/50/15 and I think they have a wider footprint than the FAlkins. I am going to rotate them and see for sure.

I have talked to a lot of people with the same setup and it seems that the 2KSi is just plain weird when it comes with suspension. some need camberkits some don't, some rub and some don't. HaHA I was told the 17"s I had would be fine with the H&R's, hell I couldn't even get out of the driveway. SCRAAAAPE was all I heard. On 15"s tho I get the scrapes when I am almost doglegging on the left hand turns with the #4 setting on the AGX's.

I think that after the holidays I might go back to the 195/50/15 tires then I know they won't rub.

H&R's give you a mean slam. My car sits on S.techs and it was supposed to be a 1.9 drop and it ended up being more like 2.5". My car looks like a monster truck in my sig because tirerack sent me the wrong size tires (195-45-R15) and i was too lazy to return them.
