Eibach will give you about 1 inch drop; Espelir about 1.4 inches. I have Eibachs on mine because I just wanted a subtle drop. And the ride comfort is very close to stock.

I went with the Eibach Pro Kit for the same reason; minimal drop (1"). The springs are progressive, and ride is very close to stock. There is a minor bumpsteer issue when the car is dropped, but at 1" it's not that bad, and it can be corrected with a bumpsteer kit or adjustable pillowball joints. You should have no trouble getting the alignment right after lowering the car. For best results, use the British alignment specs (whether you lower or not, the car will handle better when aligned to the British specifications).

KG/MM Supersports D21 !!! The very best.
are KG/MM racing springs made by a Japanese company? Since both springs have great reviews, I'm looking for the small nuances to help make the decision easier.

I'll have 18" Work wheels in 6-8weeks and want a comfortable ride without having the fenders rolled. 18X7.5+50, 18X8.5+63
