    From what I hear SSC dont drop the car much..

    B+G will drop it more. Thats what I have on my GTP. I first had them with GR-2s and they didnt last long. Rode like **** too.

    I have AGX's on now and it rides better, still stiff but not as bad. I was messing around one day and put all of them on 4...
    OMG I thought my car was going to break apart every time I hit a bumb..lol

    I do run 245/40/18s also. That doesn't help much.

    Look at the Blacktooth Grin car. He is running B&G's. It is lower then SSC. SSC is a moderate drop of about 1.5".

    B&G springs are the worst riding lowering spring I have ever put on a car period. The drop looks good but if I was doing it again I have heard nothing but good things about the springs on ebay. My 99 rode like a cardboard box with plastic wheels with gr2s still a non progressive rate spring like that is hard on whatever strut you put in. I wouldnt even recommend B&G springs to my worst enemy.

    B&G springs have the lowest drop and second stiffest rates if I'm not mistaken. I've been running on Eibachs, the stiffest rates, and think they ride fine. Its all opinion what a "rough" ride is.

    All depends what u want and how soft ur ass is... I would just do it b&g for the nice look, i have eibach with agx at the stiffest setting and i think it rides ok but not low enough for me so i got coilovers!

    the eibachs are a progressive spring thats why it wasnt so bad....just got through the dna spring thread and its deff tempting anyone have these on 04+

    Dna springs are cheap and will barely lower the car! If u want to lower a bit go with ssc but if u want more low do eibach or b&g

    when you drop 2'' (eibachs / b&g) and expect a good ride.... you should hit yourself in the head.

    04+ drop more vs 97-03's too. ssc's give a very nice stance on 04's, theres plenty of folk who run them. i personally use ssc's (on my 01) and im happy with the ride.

    i wouldnt go lower than ssc's if youre really worried about ride quality tho.
