Are you looking for performance or looks?

With the exception of the NEW HyperCo springs, all the aftermarket springs
drop the car too much for its limited suspension travel.  Handling and ride
go to shit, despite what this list may have preached 3 to 8 years
ago.  Eibachs look cool (mine will likely go to the junkyard w. the
SE-R)  But expensive coilovers or the new Hypercos are the only way to go
for performance.

You can get the new HyperCo springs for about $250 (check the forums)
they're only 1" drop and 300 lb/in front - 200 back.
