H&R make good coilovers and lowering springs. Also check Eibachs for lowering springs. If you decide on lowering springs over coilovers, make sure you get shocks/struts that support lowered springs. You can go with Tokico which are pretty good.

I kinda like Sprint, they're not too popular with DSM crowds, but i think they're alright. Also, Skunk2 makes a good set comparable to the Eibachs. Personally, after hearing a few testimonials, i would recommend the Skunk2 springs over the eibachs.

I lowered my GSX with 1.3" TEIN springs and KYB GR-2 struts.....great combination.......AWD cars do not like being put too close to the ground....remember...your exhaust runs under the rear axle unlike these other guys....it creats problems later on with exhaust clearance and axle problems in the rear

Don't forget that you will need a camber kit as well. When I dropped mine I didn't have $ for that and the insides of my tires wore out.

I actually like them alot...they have alot of bounce in them, but its stiffened up a bit with the springs I chose...they have a very tight ride....

Yea, I actually got those for my mustang all the way around when one of my shocks wasn't doing too well. I have been happy with them, especially for the price. On the topic of lowering I found a picture the other day of a GS lowered 4 inches, it was so horrible, you could see the bad camber in the rear wheels.

Spyderman, you don't see many eclipses with KYB's....or with Tein for that matter....you just like to go against the crowd though right?

I wanted something different.....Tein usually is thought of with Hondas....but I wanted to show its for others too....damn nice too...i love it....KYB's were the cheapest I could find....I got them at the local parts store for $210 for all four I think
