Hey guys, I'm looking at buying an SLP Stage 1 suspension (the SLP Bilsteins and a matched set of Eibach springs), and I was wondering how it stacks up as far as a race-able suspension for a daily driver car. Specifically the springs, I have no idea how they rate against, say, DMS, Hotchkiss, or even the other Eibach springs. Any suggestions? Thanks

I would not recommend the pro-kit for a daily driver. It's too soft and sits too low which makes it nasty on bumpy roads. My car rides nicer with koni's and 600/150# springs (GC/allstar combo) than it did with revalved bilsteins and the prokit. Right now it's 26.5" front and 26.75" rear with the 600/150 springs. The prokit had it at 25.75 and 26" which was way too low for it's rates and stock length shocks.

I honestly would recommend the GC setup with your own springs over any spring set. You can pick your own rate and height w/o compromising anything.
