So, if you want to go show car low, coilovers are the only way to go. Though, too low and the geometry of everything will be off and the car will instead handle like crap unless you put a lot of money into getting everything else in adjustable bits to compensate.

Most cheapos are comes with camber plates which also would raise the bar, specially if he picks the coilover by the camber plate color. Like matching with a car or the engine bay etc. I am sure you got the idea.
You need something that looks pretty in the engine bay. A cheap coilovers with camber plates should do the job, since you probably don't care about performance or ride quality.
I would just get a set of Megan racing for 500bucks...plenty ppl on Facebook sells these at that price.

Eibach's PRo kit is only a 1.4" Drop Front, 1.2" Drop Rear. If that's all you want, Springs will be ok as long as you follow the instructions to cut the stock bump stops because you will otherwise be out of travel under normal driving. The factory struts do not have a ton of travel to begin with so if you do more than a mild drop, even with cutting the stops down, your ride will be crap.

Never had a problem never blown any coils with them. Although i find them a little soft for tracking though...
So for the price hard to beat them , maybe swift but the R is too harsh for me the other one is too tall, so i prefer the Pro because they are some way between those two in my opinion.
here i do some autox with stock coils and eibach Pro springs , you can see the body roll, hence the soft comment of mine. So i am not sure why people say they are ruining the ride because they are too stiff.
I like them for what they are. They good for look and basically that is it. ( so as the cheapo coils and springs)
PS:sorry for the auto focus and crappy video, i am also bad with cone reading, i just got pushed into this after i was spectating my friends. lol
So no walk through or any preparation etc.
you got me. thinking too much of coils lol
maybe
