+1 eibach pro kit + koni yellow shocks.

Had the pro kit on my dc5 base and currently in the process of getting some Koni Yellows + Eibach Prokit fitted on dc5s
They handle great and here is a useful thread from a few months ago where DreadAngel helped me alot too.

Goodluck :)

ebay has yellow konis for 880 together same as quote from spring shop but does any one know anyone or a place that sells eibach pro kit springs ? because ebay is too high because od that postage price from america

heard so many bad things about the pro kit, do your research first :)

i still recon coilovers.. if nothing elce the adjustability is worth it

adjustability is nice even though i only want lkke a 1inch drop. main concern is performance without having to pay too much for coilovers. meaning, would bc perform well on what you throw at it on the street

yes for your purposes at street speeds the BC coilovers will perform well, they have been around for ages now and there are plenty of reviews on em.
although a shock spring combo is fine aswell the price tags arnt that different and you can rebuild, re valve or change springs later if need be.
so basicly;

shocks/spring pros;
pritty good on the street
cheaper in the us

bc coilover pros;
pritty good on the street
competitive price
rebuildable
options of spring rates
very adjustable (not just height son)

would suggest staying away from BC

they won't outlast the konis and can be just as stiff if u want (i think)

If you insiste on height adjustability get the ground control sleeves.

instant height adjustable coilovers

so basicly;

shocks/spring pros;
pritty good on the street better on street as they have better bump control
cheaper in the us
rebuildable
option son spring rates
can be cheaper than a set of BCs, even with GC's
will easily outlast the BC

bc coilover pros;
pritty good on the street
competitive price
rebuildable
options of spring rates
very adjustable (not just height son)

You're comparing every single spring/shock combo out there to BC Racing Coilovers.

i dont really want to drop the car alot. im not gojng for slammed heaps of my past cars were slammed and just got iver it. i havr the stock 16inch wheels but the plan is 17inch light wheels. if i get eibach which wwill cause a one jnch drop, then later upgrade to 17inch wheels should i expect the guard to be a bit above the tire still or ?
