GSX lower?

[rock0134]

Yea i have a 97 gsx and i am looking to lower it a few inches to get rid of that ugly gap in the wheelwell. I was looking at the springs and also whole coilover kits on ebay and im wondering if those are good. Also, can i just get the springs or do i need the coilover kit? Some of the springs say they fit all model eclipses but some say just two wheel drive and i dont know what makes it like that. Are springs hard to put on and what is the benefits or downside to them. thanks.

If the springs arent FWD/AWD specific, dont bother with them. The AWD is heavier, espeically in the rear, and requires different spring rates. I believe the perch height is also different between the two models.

TEIN Coilover SS Kit look at these on ebay

im lookin for somethin real cheap like under 150 or so, and would springs be the better way to go or are coilovers what i need?

depends on what you want. adjustable height? go with coilovers. non-adjustable height? springs. cheap e-bay coilovers ride like absolute shit and so will springs. springs will sag after awhile if you're just getting cheapo's. you'll also need new shocks after awhile because aftermarket springs/coilovers ruin stock shocks. if i was you i would save up for a decent kit like the tein one mentioned above.
