Is this for a 1G? If you're doing it for looks only, the Eibach ProKit might not be the best bet -- doesn't lower the car too much. I don't think it lowers much more than 0.5 inches (certainly less than 1.0 inches).

I've got the Eibach ProKit on my 1G and like them alot. They're matched with a set of GABS. Decent street springs -- progressive so on the soft shock settings they're not too bad on rough roads. Not too much lowering so I can still adjust the alignment within spec. If I were doing it now, I'd probably get the new KYB's (AGX?) that are like the GABS but softer and cheaper.

My 2G dropped a noticeable amount, and I have got the nastyass air dam scratches to proove it :)

I am waiting on some Tokicos from DSS right now (eleven days and counting...) the cheaper non-adjustable kind. Should have 'em in next week if I get the damn things soon. Actually I am just doing the fronts this time (stockers are leaking).

Eibach Pro Kit springs should lower either 1G or 2G about 1.3" all the way around. Go with the KYB AGXs, you gotta love adjustability!

I second those AGXs.... get'em.

I personally recomend the KYB AGX's, www.thedsmshop.com (http://www.thedsmshop.com) sells them real cheap too, and so does discount tire. Im currently using GC Coil-overs, eibach springs, and AGX struts and man, the car handles like a dream. Its pretty sweet too becuase I left the fronts at 2 and set the rear for 6, it was too stiff, dropped it to 4, to soft, went to 5 and it works for me :)

Good luck
