I used to have the eibach pro kit on the VR-Slow before going with the TEIN's.
They are nice and don't cost too much.

Remember, I had problems bottoming out around her place with my eibachs. Lower looks cool, but practicality sucks for busy city roads.
My vote is see what you can find used (3si classifieds) and consider replacing the struts at the same time.
I want to say the springs are different between AWD, FWD w/ECS, and FWD non-ECS. So be sure you know what you're getting. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Let me know if you want a hand swapping them out. I picked up a few tricks that make the job a little easier.  _________________ 06 Blue EVO 9

"I picked up a few tricks that make the job a little easier. Smile"
I have two words for you: spring compressors!

Brian:
I've been real happy with the Ground Control Suspenison. It makes use of Eibach springs. I have it lowered 2" and think you can go 2 1/2", but as Greg recommended, would never do it. I still have to be careful with 2", but it works.
Just my 2 hp.
Best,
SJ

"How else would you do them?" Rumor has it "people" have tried using everything from braided wire to a garden hose to hold the springs compressed before wising up and going to rent compressors.  _________________

ive done springs before so i dont thinks its gonna be that hard to do, ive got the compressors in the tool box. I also have a butane torch that put out 2500 degrees so i should be fine.......if i can pull trannys and strip the car down to nothing and put it back together, im sure i can succed in doing this  Thanks Brian
