    If this is a daily, I recommend Tein S-Tech, Megan Racing springs matched with KYB AGX or KYB GR-2 Shocks. If track only, then coilovers. I had coilovers and I sold them 2 weeks after I bought them because the ride was horrible for street use. Some people like the bounce but I didn't and that can't be good for steering and other suspension parts.

    I have coilovers and like the stance but the ride is a little rough...I don't mind though. I couldn't find springs set to the right height that I wanted to drop.

    well thats the shit theres no telling how low the springs will drop it i dont want it 2 low about 3 fingers space will be perfect i dont mind the stock height in the back its the front thats ridiculous a while back i heated mt front springs and the ride height was perfect wats the stock ride height in the front any way maybe that way i can make a determination on wat springs 2 get and also i like the idea of being able 2 adjust the height is there a kit springs and adjustable struts or something

    We just lowered my car today on Megan Racing springs and KYB GR-2 struts.

    here"s the results



    Your galant will have the same results, as the suspension (car) is all the same.

    Its the opposite, 1.9" in front and 2" in the rear. I just checked the website.


    Oh and i just rode 190 miles today back to my house and i now have less then a 2 finger gap in the front :D

    Makes me happy, it rides really well now. New struts make a car feel so much better.

    coilovers won me out in this dilemma. K-sports ftw! It is a bit of a "rough" ride but its a hell of alot better than my gf's 2g with teins and gr2's and my car handles better than hers.

    Yeah but you know that inch it is going to drop is 1 inch of the stock height, what suspension you have right now? The ride comfort on the eibach is as oem but i think you are going to be better with teins cause they drop 1.7 F/1.R
