not sure if there is a difference between 5door and 4door springs... ken would know i would go by what he says... and the eibach sportlines do drop more then the eibach prokit (actually i think they have the lowest drop you can get with just springs)

Let us see some pics, and let us know how it handles, comfort level and how much you ended up dropping it.

Did you just do springs?

Quick question: Was your primary motivation for dropping to improve the handling, or the looks? +1 for pics.
