i bought 99eclipse not too long ago, it has full bodykit and i think its 1inch off the ground.. since i bought it, i hit about 10-20bumps and even crack the bumper 2 times.. the car has tokiyo shocks i see and the lowering springs or blue..
i need to at lease push it back up to 2-3inches.. i bought some cheap coilovers on ebay which 40shipped
but it looked way too small then the lowering springs i have on right now
i don't want to go back to stock springs but i heard coilovers are adjustable..
any suggestions? please help me
thank you
pictures of the coilovers i bought,, are these the right ones they send me?

DON'T PUT THOSE ON!!!! I had a set of Matrix adjustibles on my NA Mirage and the ride was absolutely horrible. You'll want to kick yourself every time you go over a bump, but the car will pretty much do it for you.

Those coilovers are a POS. My suggestion is to not go back to coilovers at all. Save alittle money and get a nice set of lowering springs (Eibach, tien) and youll be fine

its peice of ****. You need adjustable suspension if you are to even be able to make them stiffer. Stick with eibach. Sorry dude but i would either get stock springs or get a set of eibach lowering springs...

Ok, I did a little research for you (hold the applause please).
-Eibach Pro Kit - Lowers front 1.2"/Rear 1.2" - $260.95
-Eibach Sportline Kit - Lowers front 1.6"/Rear 1.6" - $243.56
-H&R OE Sport Springs - Lowers front 1.0"/Rear 0.8" - $274.55
-H&R Race Springs - Lowers front 2.0"/Rear 1.75" - $274.55
-H&R Sport Springs - Lowers front 1.7"/Rear 1.4" - $274.55
-Tien S.Tech Springs - Lowers front 1.3"/Rear 1.2" - $201.40
There's a few good brands to get you going. I'm partial to Eibach and H&R, but Tien is known for excellent products as well

I have the Eibach prokit and illuminas. I do live downtown Houston (bad roads) and I bottom out with stock. The Tien H lower it the least. according to extemepsi it is a drop of 0.9 in front and same in rear. So it would raise U up a bunch.
