I have the stock 17 inch rims, and about 3-4 inches of clerance. and I live in oklahoma. Oklahoma= worst roads in the country so i only want around a 2 inch drop.

Spend the money on some decent srpings. I have had Eibach Prokit Springs for years and they haven't sagged, broken, or given my any trouble at all. They are 1.4" lowering and allow you to absorb some of those pot holes and ruts. I drove my car with them in Chicago with Geo Metro sized holes in the roads. They are not too bouncy and handle great in the twisties.

thats bascially the response i thought i would get, which is ok cause i would rather buy something that will last and not be crappy. Does anybody have experience with these other springs thought just want to hear form you.

You get what you pay for most of the time. Eibach is the way to go. Pro kit is best for AWD. its a progressive rate spring so the ride quality is top notch. also they have a lifetime warranty against defects and you know they will be around a lifetime.

Why don't you go with trusted brands like Eibach, H&R, Tein. etc. Those cheap Ebay springs won't cut it. My cousin has Prokits on his GST and to me they're the perfect springs if you're not looking for an extreme drop. His car just looks sexy, I'm thinking of getting some soon. I think for 2G GSX's it's a 1.3" drop for front and rear.

Can you use the Eibach Pro-Kit on factory struts? Sorry if this sounds stupid, Im new to this. :s

The eibachs have worked great on several of our customer cars, and yes people have used them on stock struts with no issue.

has anyone used the ebay springs to see if they are ok? I have bought many things for my cars on ebay and I have been vary pleased with everything. But I have not bought any springs before.

Did you have to use anything else with it i.e. camber kits etc?

We did not use camber kits, but the rear camber was off. I think that will be the same with aftermarket shocks as well...
