Springs Help!

[Turbo2g]

I'm having trouble getting a set of lowering springs that fit this car. Are there any differences in the springs from N/A to turbo? Spyder? AWD? I have had two full cheapo ebay sets delivered and attempted install, and now returning. The common issue is the springs are too large in diameter and go completely over the strut seats. I am sure about the fitment when ordering and what they are advertised for. They do say GST But the fact that both different kits, from different sellers had the same issue has me questioning if they may be right for some eclipses.

The struts are correct and installed with some temporary springs that really fit sloppy. Some crap I found at my shop. Just so the car can sit outside and be moved until I figure this out. I really need a set that fit this damn thing without spending a fortune. I do not want to go to stock height. The car came with some skunk2 springs that don't fit whatsoever and let the car basically sit on the strut body. I want to raise the car by putting lowering springs that actually fit this car. I have nothing to compare to because my springs are not stock and are not aftermarket that fit this thing. I think a 2" drop spring should raise it a few inches and have a nice lowered look.

How do I verify the next set I order will fit this car? To be clear, 1998 GST

Here are the two sets I've tried so far: As you can see when you scroll down, they advertise for my car.

Thanks, but I paid 500 for the car. I should be able to get a set for around $50. Ive bought and fixed countless cars like this. Just not sure why on this car the springs are hard to match up. Before anyone jumps on me about being cheap, Consider that I am in the process of fixing a great many things on this car. It adds up, so no $250 dollar springs are going onto this car. The car is complete, but in need of many maintenance items. These stupid skunk2 springs some fool tried to be cool by putting on have to go, and I just cant break the bank trying to do it.

If you want a cheap set that are guaranteed to fit, buy from the classifieds. They will come off a car similar to yours so they will bolt up.

Anyone using H&R springs? They retail for around $250. I found a nice looking used set for $150 on ebay. Looks like I have to spend more to get a correct fit . I think it's a good deal for a name brand.
