Your car will handle better and ride a little stiffer. Some say a lot stiffer some say rides better. So I went with somewhere in the middle......this is based on what I have read, I have never had springs.

Good idea...Aside from the obvious improvement due to lower center of gravity, these springs perform better than stock for street and racing applications. Also, will look better.

I have the Eibach 1" lowering springs, plus front and rear sway bars
My setup def increases performance. I also have a BMR Strut tower brace. I can't say that about PFADT but im assuming it also will do the same. I would suggest upgrading your sway bars too. It does make your car look better. The drive is much stiffer, but you have to give up a softer ride for better performance. That is something you have to decide if you want. |

That is what my ride has - Pfadt 1.25 and Pfadt sway bars. One of my best mods. The stance is just right and the handling is improved.
Here is what that can look like for you:
