Eibach does not make a 2.25 inch drop. H&R race and Neuspeed Race are the same spring pretty much...good quality. Personally, I really like Progress springs but run H&R coilovers myself.

Iam running eibach on a 95 coupe and they lower 1.6-1.8. Smooth ride but if you want to look "dumped" than get coil-overs.

You already have neuspeed on your car, why look into something that "is pretty much the same thing".

You can't go wrong with H&R or Neuspeed Race. I'll have my Neuspeed Race for sale in the spring.

You are obviously not talking about real coilovers, but those gay sleeve types...right? It's not the coilover that makes it bouncy, its **** shocks that ppl are too cheap to spend $1000 on. With $1000 shocks and $400 springs, your ride will not be bouncy, but then you might as well spend the extra $1000 and get real coilovers.

e-mail for a quote.... www.shox.com Excellent prices, but customs might slaughter you. Worth checking out. Call around locally before you order online.

h and r springs go for about 280 and they are good from the testomonials of the people who i have talked to, neuspeeds give a better drop but the ride is more rough. if you want to get seriously dumped, and you want cheap ****, buy those damn cheap *** coil springs, i had them but will never again too bouncy feel everything in the road

I've got Suspension Techniqes on mine.....kept the stock strut....rides great.

Drop.....depends wich set you get (2 kinds)...... mine...1.3-1.5

The other set by ST.....1.5-1.8

With the drop you want, you will have to correct the camber....if you have expensive tires and you don't....get ready for a new set every year. Keep it under 2 and it should be fine.....I only seem to hear people complain about bounciness when the car is droped 2 or more inhes.....what do you expect, the strut will no longer have the travel it needs for a nice ride.

Actually the Neuspeed's are H&R's. They just mark them as Neuspeed for marketing pupose's.

Sorry incorrect
They used to be made by H&R.....they haven't been made by H&R for a while now. They also will not list who makes them anymore. Sad because the H&R's are a sweet ride
