eibach, H&rs and nuespeed are all 1.5. I am pretty sure.

Neuspeed and H&R will give you a nicer ride than the Eibachs. But yea all 3 are good.

Get either the neuspeed or H&R springs...the eibachs are too stiff in the front and not stiff enough in the rear which will just make your car push (understeer). Also, H&Rs and Neuspeeds are the softest springs you can buy. Also remember to pick up some struts (shoot for at LEAST tokicos or better yet, konis in the front and tokicos in the rear--if you don't, you'll get some nice bounce going, which is no fun in the middle of a turn).

Eibach Sportlines advertise a 1.4 inch drop, while the Prokit says it will drop the car 1 inch.

Hey, thanks guys, but what's the deal with adjustable coilovers? Is that the way to go? Cause how easy are they to adjust? thanks.

to adjust my coilovers, u gotta jack up 1 wheel, take it off, then use 2 wrenches that it came with on the coilover. do that for each wheel. 1.5?! too little, dump it man! lol

Eibach Pro-Kit Premium Springs - EIB-4005.140 - 1.5"/1.5"

NeuSpeed springs - 55.20.05 - 1.5"/1.5"

Eibach Sportline Springs - EIB-4.0540 - 1.6"/1.6"

Intrax Springs - INT-45.1.001 - 1.75"/1.75"

H&R - HR-51873 - 1.5"/1.5"

springs mentioned here are good for TOkikos. Konis are a waste if u wanna run with these springs. hell even the stock shocks will hold up the H&R and neuspeeds.

You've got the above reversed, the above springs are good for Koni's, tokico's are a waste if you wanna run with those spirngs or any lowering product period, stock struts will bounce more than the tokico's and have more control issues the worse the pavement should get. Even Bilstein H.D., which Bilstein says are 15% stiffer than oem struts DO NOT have what it takes, I had bounce and controll issues that caused be to yank the struts off the car in short order, tokico H.p.s are not going to be stiffer than the Bilsteins. Only when revalved did the bilsteins have what it takes.

All lowering spirngs are stiffer. Tokico H.P.s are ment to stiffen up the OEM suspension, they are a waste of money to properly control stiffer lowering springs. Only ONE spring that ONE member is running says he's content with tokico's and lowering spirngs, the sportlines. Other than that, post after post has been down since the dawn the creation of this board about how H.P.s do not have what it takes for duty with stiffer lowering springs. Frankly if you call tokico's own techs and tell them the oem stiffness and then the stiffness of the spring you want to run they will tell you to buy and use thier illuminia struts for a reason, because the illumina's are valved to for stiffer lowering springs and the H.P.s are not. Of course it would be nice if they even make Illumina's for our car's but they do not.

i thought u said the use of H&Rs and Neuspeeds are not advised with Konis? Arent the H&Rs and neuspeeds very little stiffer than the stock coils? so why use with Konis? Thats why i said he is better of using those two with Tokikos, spending money on Tokiko blues are just a BS cuz i have two rear ones and im glad i got my Konis and Progress. They ride better than my Friend's STI.
