Sportlines vs. all

I am looking to get some springs for my car. I was thinking the sportlines because i would like to get the 2" drop but if the ride is just plain horrible ill get something else. What do you guys suggest? thanks

2" is too much of a drop. Eibachs in general are known to settle lower in the rear and the sportline rears are too soft for how low they are and you'll end up riding the bump stops.

With the front end down 1.8" (back was down closer to 1"), everything under the car was dragging over speed bumps. I couldn't maneuver a sloping driveway apron without going at a severe angle. The exhaust and front torque arm (Spohn) mount got scraped all up. When I would get the front wheels in the ruts in the asphalt paving from the 18-wheelers (common problem on NJ's poor roads), the clamps on the exhaust were scraping on the crown of the road. Worst thing I ever did to the car. Pretty much back to stock ride height now.
