[QUOTE="03reptile, post: 6515621, member: 9990"] If you are satisfied with the stock handling and ride quality then I would suggest you order the BGM rear springs only. They are the same spring rates as stock. I had installed the Eibach rear springs only and found them much stiffer than the stock springs. I removed them and put in the BGMs, which were perfect. They lowered the car to level and didn't deteriorate the ride quality. You will also have to purchase the BGM (or similar) adjustable panhard rod when you install the lowering springs, as the springs change the geometry of the rear and will cause one rear wheel to stick out further than the other. Once the springs are installed, you can adjust the rod and re-center the rear axle so it is correct. Regardless of what lowering spring you go with, the adjustable panhard rod will need to be installed, as well. Hope this helps with your decision. I'm very pleased with this set-up and the car looks and rides great. There is also a world of information about this modification on the search site. [/QUOTE]
