I got my Eibach Prokit used for $140 shipped. I think it looks really good...heres a pic.

BTW, I'm running 235/45 size tires, so if you still have stock tires it will look lower.

I have a different opinion, besides Stg 3 coilovers and stg 1  springs are quite a different story. I personally went with Hotchkis. I have ridden in a couple others (tien, eibach, etc.) and the consensus between not just myself but the friends who own those are that the Hotchkis have a little more forgiving ride (because they are variable rate) but still supply the performance and look I was aiming for. They also level out the rake that the car comes with stock. I've had them on for about 8 months now and love them....

Mopar byfar are the nicest lowering springs you can put on a srt4 a very nice drop and not to low just right just like for coilovers stage2 or 3 are the only way to go for coilovers on a srt4.

im goin for the the stage 1's i live in pothole city out here. And plus i hate that bodysway the car has so that should cut back on it some. I heard the goldlines arent all that forgiving. Thats why im goin with mopar. The eibachs are cool too

Mopar stage 1 is only a 1 inch drop ...... it's noticable but not what most people are looking for imo.

..... and a lot of people enjoy their eibach springs, but that doesn't make them safer.

I actually heard both the prokit and sportlines are crap with out the tokiko strut setup thats what Im trying to say your safer on mopar or goldlines if your staying with stock struts . I never had the mopar springs but I loved my stage 3 coilovers on my acr best suspension ever only way to go on an acr. Im just a mopar gal I love mopar drops.

I have an acr with eibach pro kit installed for over a year now with no problems..... the ride is still decent and it looks great.  I'm not saying they compare to the coilovers.... but then again, neither does the price.
