I am happy too with my eibach springs. They ride fine and a nice enough low look to where i can still go over speed bumps and all that without worrying about scraping. I daily drive my car.

Click the link in my signature to see how they look from my car.

Although coilovers are on the list in the future.

^his stance is pretty good, took out the wheel well space. I know coz I helped him install it.

Personally, I have the swift spec-r. Not to much drop but still have an aggressive stance. Don't get me wrong though. It still drops the car pretty low, but not as much as the eibach. The difference really is just half an inch from the spec-r and eibachs.

Search the threads and u will find pictures of how low these springs go.

I've read on some other thread that some springs, when used with stock shocks, will compromise and break them over time. Are the Eibach ProKit and/or Switft or GTWorxs safe enough to use with the stock shocks on the MR's? Miy car's lease is coming to an end, and I'm contemplating keeping it. If i do that, the first thing I'll change is the car stance, as it sits too high as-is. I'd like to get a set of coil-overs, but i can't justify spending $1500-2000 when i really only use the car on the street. I'm really looking to improve looks, as I'm satisfied with the way the car handles now.

Eibach Prokits here, 43k miles with the Prokits installed on my stock GSR KYB shocks. Great ride, nice handling, sexy drop...and they feel just as good today as they did over two years ago when I installed them.

Swift Spec-R's

They're really good, but the car seems a bit jittery taking turns hard on uneven roads. Anyone else experience this with Swift, or am I smoking something?

Thank you, Kracka, for your valued feedback.

ive read tein springs will do that. and on some instances eibachs as well. but kracka is the living proof that eibachs doesnt deteriorate stock shocks.

spec-r sits low but not too low. and its engineered by swift to be that way. as for jittery on corners, i dont feel that on my spec-r.
