"Most" of the owners are using the Eibach Sportline product. I havent ready anyone hating on them and for the most part people say the feel like stock, only lower and more planted to the ground.

H&R Supersports.
Perfect look on 17's and 18's, they feel amazing. Had them out for autocross a few weeks ago and got nothing but thumbs up on how they felt from the couple ride alongs that I had

Is your main goal to lower the car for looks or improve handling?

I just put Eibach sportlines on my FRS and they ride great. Im equipped with 18x9.5 e37 and 255/35's square. Very satisfied with the results so far and will probably allow me to not have to drop coin on coilovers.

I'm running Tein S techs and im very happy with both the handling, and the amount of drop. They are slightly more aggressive on the drop than sportlines.

Eibach sportlines work fantastic with the factory setup.. Handles amazing and no more ugly gap. Price is very affordable too.

This will be my first springs... will the sportlines wear the stock shocks more due to the drop hight? Are there any longtime users who can comment on this (+3k miles)? I really want the drop, but I'm worried about this and that's pushing me towards the pro kit.

I've had sportlines on my car since 17 miles on the Odometer.. At 5k now without any problems.
Any lowering spring will cause more wear than stock springs just due to the way the factory shocks are designed. How much sooner they will need to be replaced vs OEM springs varies from car to car. I'm running them until the shocks need to be replaced and then I'll go coil overs.

Sportlines rock. hard to install though, or expensive.

Sportlines and Prokit are a little 'bouncy'. The RCE Yellows are better in my opinion and have less bounce. Yet if all you care about is form over function then Sportlines are the way to go. Function over form then RCE Yellow.
