    are these coilovers good?

    i just got my brothers old 7g galant because he moved up in the import game and got a evo X. and i just got my license so i dont have that much money to be shelving out for my galant. but i was wondering if skunk coilovers are good?? but i also saw some eibach lowering springs, which do you guys think would be better for me even though they are two different kind of suspension types.....and all i really want is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches lower from now...thanks a lot guys

    the springs will be a better ride...if you want coilovers go with a full dampening setup.....and dont forget shocks/struts to go with the springs if you go that route

    Well I'll vote to grab a set of Eibach springs and some
    KYB GR-2s (since u don't wanna stretch out for AGXs).

    i found the eibach springs for about $200 and im tight on cash right now because i am a sophomore in high school and i work part time which sucks cause i get paid little so i need the cheapest but a still good enough springs or coilovers.....i might get springs because i already have some KYB shocks thanks to my bro......but yea if there are over good brands and they are cheap BUT good then just tell me thanks guys.....

    Oh no, I was referring to KYB shocks/struts.
    AGXs are the adjustable KYBs.

    sleve-type "faux" coilovers tend to be really bouncy, real ones can be also, but that's a whole different topic. it's good thing you have KYBs already, i strongly suggest you get eibach prokit then. putting aftermarket lowering springs on stock struts is just stupid. the skunk2, despite their reputation, are still sleeve-type coilovers, and will bounce.
