    In the final end its either gonna be coil overs or springs. Coil overs are stiffer then springs but look better due to a bigger drop. BTW Please try to use MS Werd from now on before you post.

    A little help from someone who's done the search work.

    Im in the process of getting (buying) my set up.

    KYB AGX struts and shocks ( though more expensive then the GR2s they give you the ability to adjust them to preference.)
    3rd generation eclipse: 2000-2004 fit our cars

    As for springs
    Like many who have posted good resuslt = Teins made for 8Gs they sit lower then Eibachs

    Good luck
    8G 4 life!

    It all comes down to what you want out of lowering your car. Just for looks, looks and a little performance, performance.....

    I have the Tein S-Tech springs and Kyb GR-2's...AKA a drop on a budget. I would love to have a set of Tein coilovers but it's just not in the budget right now.

    If you really want some advice on what setup to go with try looking at the Your suspension setup thread to see what everyone else has and what they think of it.[/url]

    If money is not an option the Tein Coilover Basic. But if your not looking to spend $1000 Tein or Eibachs springs & KYB GR2's or KYB AGX are the way to go.
