What is the best set up for my SVT? It is a daily driver and I always have 3 passengers (my kids), I want better handling and maybe about a 1 inch drop, but I don't want to always bottom out. Maybe eibach springs and koni adjustable's? Would yall help me out? Thanks.

well, i would get the BAT springs and struts. its a 1" drop, and the ride is probably somewhat milder than the other spring companies. you will get better performance than stock, without the added harshness that the others may have. you also wont be too low, which is good, especially with passengers.
im sure others will chime in soon enough with other opinions soon enough.

well, if you get the right tire your 18s shouldnt really be any taller or shorter than your 17s, or stock for that matter. they may be a tad taller or shorter, but basically the same. with the BAT kit you wont sit quite as low as you would with say eibachs, h&r's, etc. search around pic and vids a bit, people have been posting pics of different suspension set ups quite a bit in the last month or so (mainly goonz svt with his BAT setup, svtdriver??? with his koni and something (maybe eibach??, maybe not) setup) i think slingersvt had some pics up also.

Thanks alot for the info! Your car looks really good, mine will be there pretty soon, what kind of HIDS do you have? I just found some McCullohs for $330, is that a good price?
