Hell ya

Any who, I went with a set of RSR* TI2000 progressive springs. I bought them used off the for sale page with about 10,000 miles on them.
The drop is .08 front and 1.4 rear about an 1" and 1.5" after settling. I am on 17" BBS"s with no rubbing and the tires are wide... rear tires are 255 and the front is 225

b/c looks like your running 18's?
Dont know if they rubbed on the stock's as i had the wheels and spring's changed together. Yeah im running 18"s

That's the extent of the rubbing from a serious Jock hoon.

It will also depend on what rims and tires you run. I have Eibach springs as well and mine rub a little too, but its the wheel, tire and spring package I run...
But I love the look

i've been doing a lot of searching on this topic

at first i wanted to slam the car but since this is my daily/comfy car, i think i've narrowed it down to the eibach prokit or the tein s tech

Both of which ride nice. Either one would be a fine choice.

I have a set of Eibach Pros that i haven't installed yet and am also wondering whether the Koni Yellows or the Koni Sport is a better choice. Koni is pushing the Sport with these springs and I want to make the switch all at once. Any help would be appreciated.

For the price of Konis/Springs it might be better to get some coilovers.

I had Eibach for a year and only rubbed on extreme bumps. I had stock wheels, though. I loved them! They are actually for sale (not trying to steal the thread, so PM me if interested).

Sorry Wyatt,but I don't agree with you on this one.
For the price of a good quality springs/shocks combo,you can only get some of the cheapest coilover;and,most of the time these cheap coilover will only degrade the handling of the "S",on OEM suspension;when a good springs/shocks combo,can improve greatly the handling,and roadholdig of the OEM suspension.
I do not want to say,that I have the best,but I am very happy with the set-up,I have;KG/MM Supersports dual rate springs,and Koni Yellow.
To do better than this,you will have to spend,quite a bundle of money.(Not talking of Ohlins,Penske,or Mugen.!!!)
