Is this worth it?
I have a 99 eclipse GS with 114k miles on it (i put 11k myself). Is it worth putting in $500 set of shocks and lowering springs? So far the car has been reliable. But I don't know how reliable these cars are. I take good care of it.

I got the car in perfect condition (as perfect for a car with 100k can be). Engine runs perfect. Haven't heard any strange clinks or clanks. Worse problem so far is a minor engine oil leak. Other than that, I love the car. I do intend to keep it for a while, but since it is pushing 115k, I'm not sure if the investment is worth while. I don't want to invest in it...and have it break down in a few years.

For springs I guess megans would be cheap and maybe kyb gr-2's if your on a budget. I personally like the kyb agx's but they can be expensive.
They're are many many different combos, try searching and check out reviews.

What do you think of this DropZone Shock/strut/coilover combo for about $260 shipped?
I understand I will get what I pay for. And this is cheap for obvious reasons. But it is a legitimate brand at least not a chinese knockoff (as far as I know). Will these suffice? I'm not looking to race or anything. Just want to lower my car and have some decent shocks.
