Theres a bit of info on the site about these springs, i just sold a set for $150 shipped. Its more of a subtle drop, but maintains a decent right quality.

I've had a pro-kit on my '03 track model for going on four years. The ride quality remains good for a DD, but you really have to watch out for potholes or other road onstacles. The lower ride height looks great, but does make ground clearence a problem in everyday driving. I've even been known to back out of a parking lot when I see big speed bumps!

I have some on my s10 and like them (3" drop). For the Z, the inch saves you the hassle of having to purchase toe/camber adjustments or adj tension rods which can end up costing you another $750.00 w/o labor, plus the alignmet. If you have +1 or +2 wheels, this will really look aggressive. Let's get some pics up when you get them installed ok?

I have had eibachs on previous cars and will not run them again....
Hotchkis is a MUCH better setup. Linear springs are much more forgiving on rough roads and much more predictable in terms of handling. I would not recommend a set of eibachs
