Eibachs lower quite nicely i think i heard 1.4" to 1.5" all around.

Progress also do a good job 1.7"-1.8" all around.

i've had eibachs, and i've had progress, and my vote would be for TEIN. i hear nothing but good about them, and although i haven't tried them, what i've heard would seem to compensate for the weaknesses i see in the eibachs and progress.

TEIN is what I have, JDM all the way. Although I would now have gone with the basic coilovers instead of the S-Techs.
