Progress makes great springs D, the 8g guys seem to like them. Now, are you sure a 1.5 drop is gonna be OK with the size of tires you have? I would measure it before you buy and remember they may settle another 1/4 of an inch.

That reminds me... with 40R17 size tires, your speedometer is slow about 3mph.. remember that.

Absolutely B, I have 225/40R17 on now and my car is down 2" front and back, no problems so far. I know Conn roads aren't the best but they can't be any worse than what I got up here, I live on a dirt road for cryin' out loud! https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

keep in mind thats 1.5 with an eclipse weight, i'm running 225/40/r18 and my car is light as hell, so i might only get like a 1.0 drop

Don't our cars weigh more than the Eclipse?

That's what I meant to say "40R18" is going to make your speedo slow and make you odometer off. Just something to think about.

I saw some like that on EBay pretty good price.
I also heard they are real bouncy. You cant go wrong with some Eibach springs.
