Default Control control or eibach springs

I have a MY00, i dont want to spend too much $$$, so what would give a better handling out of the two?

Im using stock shocks and the roads in UK are rough and uneven so i dont want vacant bounces and want to improve handling if possible.

I'm only interested in 1" drop really.

doesn't GC use eibach springs? GC setup would definitely give you the ability to handle better regardless though, since you could alter the ride height. Guaranteed, no set of eibachs alone is going to set you up at the optimum height. If you're just going to dial it down to 1" drop and leave it though, I wouldn't waste the money.

GC does use eibachs, but they're better matched rates than sportlines or prokits, and a custom made spring just for GC.

sportlines drop too much and kill stock shocks fast, which leads to bottoming out, crappy ride, and lost suspension travel.

prokits kill shocks too, just not as fast.

I've got GC's on another car and LOVE them.

i'd swap out the struts while your at it....considering the how rough the roads are in the area that you live in; not to mention that your car has almost 8+ year old struts...
