    Which ones are you getting, eibach pro-kit or the sports line? The sports line will give you a bigger drope than the pro-kits. I used to have the sports line on my old car, and they were pretty good.

    Skunk2 lowering springs have the most drastic drop overall. however I'd just save your money and buy a set of decent coilovers.

    ^^ +1 the difference between springs/shocks and full coilovers is like comparing shit to chocolate

    If you drop a car 2 inches won't it fuck up your shocks? I have a friend with an eclipse and a 2 inch drop and the shocks don't handle it well, it's hard to describe.

    it's ok, coilovers are so hyped up, there's really no point for coilovers unless you do autocross or hpdes regularly, even then, there's no rule that says you have to. most people with coilovers don't even drive their cars fast enough or have the tires to match the stiff rates to warrant the use, like me haahah.
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA

    Yes any drop on stock shocks will make the shocks go bad A LOT quicker than stock shocks

    Dont waste your money buying springs. It's really gonna be a waste of money. Your not gonna be happy with the drop or the ride quality. Just save up a little more and get coilovers

    FUCK GRAN TURISMO EAST!! NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR THERE, ESPECIALLY NOT FOR AN ALIGNMENT!! TERRIBLE BUSINESS!!

    I got Dropzone coilovers cheaper then most, rides pretty good, more on the stiff side though, I'm not complaining though. Good for the money....
