    My car definately needs to be lowered. When I put my 17s on it the gap is pretty big. I want a spring that has a good ride. I dont want it too stiff. i also cant go very low because I have to go down a little gravel to get to my house. What options do I have? I would like to maybe buy locally. I only have about $400 to spend on this. What do you guys think?

        H&R, Tein, Cusco, Eibach, and Espelir all make good springs. Not sure whats available for the 2G specifically, but I'd be willing to bet that all the above listed would be a good choice if they are available. Tein for sure makes S-Tech's for it, and H&R makes a couple sets as well

          Eibach and Tein are prob the most common spring for a 2G

          Tein S-Tech's are pretty cheap... I think under $150

            the s-tech looks right for me. do you think I would also need some kind of camber kit or would I be alright? they drop the car 1.3"

              Well you should technically ALWAYS get camber kits installed if you lower your car, but some cars have adjustments in the suspension. The front of a 2G is not adjustable at all, but I believe there is some in the rear, hell I forget. Maybe get an alignment just to see how far off it is, and then do camber kits if needed. Most places will "warranty" their alignments for a while, so you could take it back and say that it needs to be re-adjusted or something!

                    I have a set of coil overs still in the box (paid $500) for them. I didn't get to put them on before I sold my eclipse. Hit me up if you are interested. CHEAP!!!

                        R1 (i think made by hyper). It is the only brand that Radioactive (in grand forks, before they went out of business) carried at the time.

                        EDIT: I'll be putting these in classifieds soon.
                        EDIT AGAIN: They are in the classifieds with pictures.
