After lowering the car my ride is almost identical whether i am on 18 or 16, the only different is when hitting a bump you do feel it a little more but thats due to less rubber.

MY INITIAL SET UP
1999 Galant ES
Springs - Tien S-Tech Sports Springs (3G Eclipse GS Application)
Supposed to be
1.8 front (actual was about 2")
1.2 Rear (actual was about 1.3")
Struts - KYB GR2 (3G Eclipse GS Application)
Shocks - KYB GR2
Rims - 2003 GTZ 16" rims
Tires - Generic
Ride was actually pretty good.
But had to replace the Eclipse struts after about a year and a half. I would recommend just putting the extra money in for the galant parts if you have them.
Didn't Rub
Didn't have to roll Fenders
Topped out veeeeeery rarely.
MY CURRENT SET UP
1999 Galant ES
Springs - Tien S-Tech Sports Springs (3G Eclipse GS Application)
Supposed to be
1.8 front (actual was about 2")
1.2 Rear (actual was about 1.3")
Struts - KYB GR2
Shocks - KYB AGX (set to 2)
Rims - 18" Alero Dyno Stars
Tires - Falken 225/40/18ZR
Strut Bar - Freedom Design
Camber - Home Depot Camber Kit - 4 washers per bolt.
Ride quality decreased with the new rims.
It's noticibly on turns stiffer with Strut bar. (not sure i like it)
Camber was not needed intially, became very noticible later.
Low Profiles tires did not rub.
Had to roll fenders.
Top out veeeery rarely.
Overall
Very agressive drop...i love how it looks.

1.8" drop on Sprint springs
AGX's front and back. 4 position adjustables

2003 Galant ES i4
Springs - Tein S-Tech
Shocks and struts - KYB GR-2
Camber kit - not needed
Rims - Factory 16" alloy wheels
Tires - Goodyear Assurance Comfortred 205/55/16 all season radials
Definitely firmer and harsher ride with this setup, but body roll is significantly reduced. Handling is greatly improved. The car also looks much better without the huge wheel well gap. It dropped more than the Tein specification. I'd say about 2" in front and 1.7" behind.
1995 2.4 ES 4G64
Sprint Performance Sport Spings
KYB AGX Struts all the way around(all 4 struts were blown anyways)
KYB Strut Mounts
Progressive Camber Kit
Stock Wheels and rims for now till after the wedding
no STB yet either/however there is one by Stillen that i think will fit.
the Sprint springs took me by suprise. Definately worth looking into. especially if you are running on limited cash flow. the drop was a modest one (1.5-1.8)and the ride quality is really good. corners wonderfully. I am sure it will do much better with polyurithane bushings and a rear sway.
2001 GTZ
Struts and shocks: KYB AGX
Springs: Tein S-Tech
Camber kit: RRE rear spacers
Rims: 16" stock GTZ alloy wheels
Tires: Falken Azenis ST115 205/55/R16
STB: 3G Eclipse
Swaybar: ADDCO 22mm with SS endlinks
AGX is set to 3 all around, started on 4 but then I had to listen to my wife
Whoever said it's love all over again... Now I know what he was talking about. Car takes corners like a champ, no more swingibingi while accelerating or hard braking, changing lanes is a 100% pleasure. And it looks awesome (ca 2" front 1.8" back), I love it!!!
update: Addco swaybar FTW! Honestly, I didn't expect a lot since the stock was 19 already, but I have to say, even that 3mm does make a difference

The ride was stiff in the begining but has balanced off nicely now. I would recomend them, if you could get them at a good price...

And please explain to me how those post are off topic? cause I dont know how me asking John if he installed MY SUSPENSION PARTS is off topic in a thread called "Your Suspension Setup"?
Or a question about some ones SUSPENSION SETUP and being answered is offtopic?
