^^Wow what a difference! Even some springs like GF-210s would make the car look soooo much better. Well back to the game....

that was COOL! I was looking at the first pic, scrolled down to the second pic... it looks so much better... WTF lol yes I know thats how its supposed to look... I have been fighting myself over getting some suspension work done. I was thiking of going w/ the Swift spring since I cant afford coils. Just spent 3g on the rims... But I was loving the fact that I could take her to the car wash (LAZY). My eclipse was too low for the car wash and had to wash her all of the time! Now that the rims are on, I might just change my perspective and wash her myself! It does look much better lower, but been there and done that! Blew my struts and shocks last time I just got springs...
still in debate w/ myself...

It wont sit low enough with Swifts. I vote Tanabe GF-210s since you seem to be more into the show anyway. Plus they are cheaper and are still very good springs.

I have been debating lowering, but I told myself I wouldnt after the last two. I wouldnt got too low. Swifts, maybe... I lowered my last two eclipses 95, 03 and both blew out the shocks, then dipped down just a bit more for good luck. wasnt fun to drive. Especially when you have a Bomex kit on my 03(fiberglass) that looks amazing and you are sooo carefull nothing happends to it...doesnt make for fun driving. I would love to have a set of coils w/ edfc...

I would say they did a good job with the progressive wound design. By this I mean the car actually feels a bit softer at lower speeds and over bumps at these lower speeds because the spring doesnt compress as much as at higher speeds where you can feel they are stiffer than stock.

I think the drop is like 1-1/2" in front and 7/8" in back if I remember correctly. It is level. I have pics of mine if you are interested.
