I did a search and couldn't really find a good answer. I have an S13. I am looking to lower the car. And the Coilovers I have ordered are on back order for like 6 months. So my question is would Eibach springs be a good choice. I have heard good and bad things. I am wanting to use the Sportline Kit since it give the lowest stance. Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're just going for looks, Sportlines will be fine. I'd get new shocks at the same time so your ride doesn't detoriate too much. If you want real handling performance, save up for a "good" coil over kit with shocks; I've seen them around for the 240 starting around $1100.

Blairellis what do you think that i should do. I don't have a lot of money and am trying to get the car ready for car shows. And I am not having very good luck in getting it done. Coilovers will be here when ever I guess who knows. So I am out of ideas.

www.zilvia.net should give you better responses than i could...i know the sportlines are crap for handling *** (drop alot without much increase in spring rate)
how much lower do you want it? s13's are pretty dang low as is

I put 17's on my car which raised the car as you know. I am roughly 8inches high. I am wanting to come back down to around 4-5 give or take

If all you want to do with the car is take it to shows, and want that slammed look, go with the sportlines. The prokits are better for handling, but if you dont really care about that, get the sportlines.

Okay so here after some investigating is the new plan
I am going to go with KYB AGX adjustable gas shocks
and
Eibach Sportlines This should give me adjustablity that I want as well as a good yet low ride.
