Yeah TEIN and which ever is related to that is pricey but a lot more better performance wise than the standard shock and spring. My friends have the baller KTS and TEIN running in their s13s and I have to admit its pretty nice..

yeah you can buy sway bars also just that will help get rid of your body roll. but for me im buying galant specific JIC fl at2's ther gonna run me about $1900.... but tein is a good company jic is also a lil pricey, hotbits is also a reputable company but also pricey. don't buy k sports they don't know how to valve an ajustable shock and ther just junk (if you want i also have info to back this). what i say is you try out the new megan racing coilovers go to dsmparts.com they run about 850 or so. ive bought a few things from megan including ther 2 inch drop springs and ther 3 inch dp and all i can say is quality for a cheap price. :dsm:
 
I like my K sports. I would recommend them.

And IIRC, Megan, K-sport, D2, Apexi, etc are all made in the same factory... so saying not to get Ksports, but get Megans is kind of looney.
 
I heard KYB's aren't bad either. You might as well get lowering springs while your at it. I like my ibachs.

that setup isnt a coilover. its struts and lowering springs. what spawn87 has to firure out is what he wants to get from his suspension. if you just want a nice stance and also eliminate most of the body roll just do struts and springs but if you plan on doing some events and auto x then go with a nice coilover setup
 
I dont think anyone made coilovers for a 1991 eclipse. But there is a lot of companys who do like IIRC, Megan, K-sport, D2, Apexi. I geuss it is just what you want to pay for them.

I'll echo what he said... You get what you pay for. Sure, there are some people who have great experiences with less expensive setups, but it all depends on what you are exactly looking for. The more you pay, the more adjustable they will be. Ideally you should ride around in a few cars with various setups and see what you are happy with. If you can't do that, I would say pick a price range and go from there.
