Theres about 5 different spring sets i'm considering, price isnt too much of an issue because theyre all under $250

I want an even drop all around if at all possible, and several kits offer that. I know companies like H&R and Eibach are high quality, but dont drop quite as much as id like. im concerned about the other ones im considering (quality-wise) Here are the ones im considering and any more questions i have about specific ones

B&G - 1.5" all around - $210 on Corksport.com
Will these work for the P5? (probably my best choice so far)

Eibach - 1.4"f 1.8"r - $240 on Corksport.com
These will change the stance and dont lower overall much.

H&R - 1.3" all around - $210 on Corksport.com
Not low enough

INTRAX - 1.5" all around - $210 on Corksport.com
Concerned with quality

PROGRESS - 2.0" all around - $165 at ptuning.com
Concerned with Quality

SPOOL - 2.0 all around - $189 on their site
Maybe a tad too low.

I'll probably go with the B&G but i need some more input first

UGH! too confusing (bang)
 
I was recently talking about this with my best friend who works alot at DUB show and is around these kind of questions and he said stick with the quality like Eibach and H&R, even B&G is decent. He did tell me to definitely stay away from the INTRAX as he called them a Wal-mart brand. HA!

I don't know how true this is but he also mentioned that you could always get the coil overs to adjust the springs to your liking so if you go with springs like Eibach you can adjust it lower or more evenly later. Maybe someone can explain this better as i'm definitely no expert on this.

Hope that helps.

Let me know what you go with and post some pics, I'd like to see it.

there, ive got more, and when the 18's come in ill take even more.
 
That is clean look I like it. Question: how much of a gap btwn top of the tire and edge of fender? Also, I want to get 18's so if you know how much of a gap will be if any in that case. My buddy who works for DUB says the look to have is the top of the wheel coverd to the edge of the rim but I don't think I'd like that, besides thats not the look I want. Maybe someone w/18's can say?
 
im really trying to avod having my parents notice, i might go eibach because i always thought my car was a tad too raked and i wanted the back a little lower...between eibach and h&r ill go eibach becayse i think spool's are a little too low
 
Doesn't seem to low to me, thanks spool. (2thumbs)
