HEY
USE ONLY EIBACHS LISTEN TO ME!!!!!
They are the best for tibby for road use.Unless you want something racing order the HKS coilovers from Sam.
My suggestion is:
1)Pro kit springs from Eibach
2)Pro damper kit from Eibach(schocks)
3)You can also use your stock schocks for awhile and combine it with the prokit
4)Buy the front and rear SR strut bars.
5)In my opinion with all the above you will see a 95%better handling and driving pleasure without hurting your poor tibby with other unreliable solutions.
Ask also Random´s and 2000 LO and Show opinions,,

The coilovers are not listed on the website due to their high cost. They start at about $1500 and can be as expensive as $4000, depending on how far you want to go with them.
To be installed properly, Your car needs to be "corner weighted" with you in the drivers seat. They coilovers are adjusted to your chosen/prefered ride height, then the coilovers are adjusted to get the weight as equal as possilbe at all 4 corners. Your local "rice" or "Suspension" shop cannot do this, only a true PERFORMANCE supension shop will be able to do this.

Another company to maybe check out is H&R. They're made by Eibach, I believe...and they have a little bit more of a lower drop than Eibach. Also, with 17's you can pretty much get just about any lowering spring on the market that will fit your car, and you won't rub. That's as long as you're fitting 205/40 series tires to your rims. Anything wider or thicker, then you might have some rubbing problems on the lower drops.
Good luck! wink.gif
