o yeah, there are lot's of threads on this already. go into the a/v area and go to search this forum. put in a combination of the words lowered, eibach, intrax, tein, lowered 18, 18 lowered, and whatever else you can think of, and you should be pulling up lots of pictures of what you want.

and, i i were you i'd reconsider going with eibach. i had them on my r/t, and the drop just wasn't good enough for me. take a hard look into some other springs.. i'm just not sure which ones are available for the non turbo anymore

good luck

I agree.
When I started looking for a suspension setup that would give me the drop I wanted, I almost immediately excluded the eibachs. From the many many pictures I've seen, it just doesn't drop the car enough to be worth the money IMO.

I figured since I was going to upgrade, I might as well go with a complete set-up including the struts as well (as my car has over 80K now, it wouldn't be worth it to just change up the springs IMO). After pricing a set of KYB-GR2s and ground controls, I thought that would be a decent set-up. However after even more research, I noticed a lot of people didn't like the ground controls, but I still wanted something adjustable. I eventually decided to go with either Megans or K-Sport Kontrol Pros (both coilovers), and since I found the K-Sports on sale first, I picked them up .

I haven't installed them yet, but when I do I'll post up some pics. If my car's drop looks as good as Mitsusl's, I'll be very happy with my decision .

I'm happy with the results .

These are the K-Sport Kontrol Pros with Maximal's rear adjustable control arms for FWD 3/S's. I installed them with some help from a family member and everything went pretty smoothly; nothing was too difficult or time consuming at all (maybe 5-6 hours total to do the whole job).

im gunna look at my options before looking into spending money. Im not sure if ill go with the eibach, reason being is cuz my car is a DD so if i go too low ill have to watch out for everything im going over.hah. not that i wont with the eibach. but i have to see how low i want to go.

Thanks again!

i installed the eibach on my N/a the front looks really good, doesnt rub (i have 18's by the way) but is still very low. Only bad thing is the back doesn't look as low as i expected it to be and still hase a descent size gap between the fender and the wheel. i would say go coilover, its adjustable and looks a whole lot nicer.
