I miss my Eclipse some days. All the guys at work liked the way it looked better too. But eventually the Evo will look better (to me).

Dropping your car's stock ride height and benefit 2 things:

1. Appearance
2. Handling

Although, I don't recommend dropping your ride if you intend to drag race.

I'm keeping my ride height the way it is and just going for all horsepower modifications. I gotta keep the stock look to drown suspicions of modifications and tuning.

this is the look you want... nothing drastic, just a nice agressive looking drop...

sure, it's not a how car, but it needs a drop to look right, and the handling is every bit as crisp as it was stock... besides, how many of you guys are rallying in the car...? NONE...?
Diesel,

That Eibach prokit looks phat on your ride ... I'm considering the Eibach and Tien coilovers. Any idea on how your drop kit compares to adding coilovers? What's the price on the Eibach pro kit and where to buy? OZrallyguy???

contact Adam from z1auto.com for the Eibachs...

i couldn't tell you sqaut about the Teins cause i have no experience with them... the only thing i can tell you is you will have the ability to make adjustments... but is it worth the extra $900 to you...?

Well I lowered my car with Tein coilovers. I think it looks great. I haven't taken too many pictures myself but others have I'm grateful for it. I went to an autox this weekend and a gentleman by the name of bracelis took some nice pictures of my car in action. Bracelis, thanks. Here are two I really like.

It depends on which type of surface the car is competing on. On the tarmac events the cars are lowered. Since I don't go off road I decided to mimic the tarmac cars with the Enkei WRC Tarmac wheels the Ralliart guys use.
