Okay guys looking to buy the eibach pro kit (springs) for my 98 200sx. I've found some places that have them... but they want like $300+ for the kit. Anyone here know where to find a set at a better price?

That seems high. I was considering buying those same springs. I saw them for around 2 sumtin. Ill be honest with you tho, by the time you buy springs and the shocks to go with them, you would be better off spending a little more and getting coilovers. But try www.nopionline.com or www.tirerack.com. Ive bought from both of them and was very happy with the price and service.
i paid 210 for my lowering springs through my local vender... if you get the prokit spring, you need to get shocks and struts and motivational rear strut mounts is pretty important... for shocks and struts get kyb agx's or koni adjustable... www.summitracing.com also has the kit

Okay... so if I get the prokit then I HAVE to install struts/shocks/motivational rears when I put on the springs or can it wait untiL I have the extra money?
What about with the eibach sportlines?

i have the prokit right now without the stuff but my ride sucks balls... if you do do that.. you shouldn't do it for very long without the new struts and shocks.. if you do the sportlines you will definitly need to replace the shocks and struts cuz a 2" drop will kill the really quick and if you go springs you really dont want to go more the 1.5".. if you go coilvers the 2" drop is fine

i waited a year to replace the shocks and struts with the pro-kit, the ride was really bad, and the bumpstops got smashed to the point that the middle segment was gone, and when i changed the struts and shocks, there was discoloration at the piston shafts, not a good sign................bluish and all..............
Prokits should not be more than $230, sometimes you'll find them for $200 or less. I would try www.groupbuycenter.com to see if there any deals.
Allong with any spring that lowers your car, you should ALWAYS get aftermarket shocks. KYB AGX shocks are what you want (don't get KYB GR2's). They are very important b/c the stock shocks won't last very long and like the others said, the ride was extremely BAD. I ran prokits for 6 months before I got new shocks/struts and not a moment too soon. The ride improved significanty and I love how they act.
You can get all 4 shocks/struts at groupbuycenter as well. There is a dealer there that does the AGXs for $399 shipped (the best price ever).
As for www.Motivational.net rear mounts, it is not necessary, but they are very nice additions. I installed a pair when I did my shocks. They are meant for use with lowering springs (or GC coilovers if you specify) and they will help prevent bottoming and improve ride quality by adding almost an inch to the rear suspension's travel.
Hello, brothers
I just installed my Pro-Kit & GR-2 in May. The total I paid before labor is $400.70. Springs are around $180, so are the GR-2s. The rest is for shipping.
You should try the group buy segment in thie forum, and I posted a GB long time ago, so you should have a look.
As for the ride, it still feels comfortable, and actually better through the bumps. The OEM isn't that good at handling bumps. These are just my thoughts.
BTW, all KYB stuff is made in Japan.

BTW, Pro-Kit will still leave you quite a lot of gap between fender & tires.
although the prokit gives the "raked" look, it's not as agressive as the sportline, i was just checking options auto salon and they have the sportlines at a lower price than the pro-kit, and a buddy of mine contacted stillen for opinions on the sportlines, they said that the pro-kits are stiffer than the sportlines, is this true???i was thinking because of less srping=less height=softer springs???
