Get the Eibach Sportline springs and Tokico Illuminas struts....I got that combination on my eclipse and it works great....I'm not AWD, but it would prob. ride almost exactly the same..

You should consider getting some aftermarket shocks so that the OEM ones don't wear out too quickly with the lowering kit.  You can get any performance shocks you like, most say if they're compatible with a lowered cars or not.  You're OEM shocks won't like bottom out and stay there, but you'll feel them get progressively worse over time and then the car will be bouncy.  Ever see a Honda with cut springs?  BOING!


Hey Spyderman, how are the Sportlines?  I always hear bad things about them for the spyders, but i've never actually talked to anyone with them.  They aren't bouncy or anything, are they?  Everyone always recommends the Prokit, but i dunno.  They sound good, but are they too low?  A pic would be cool.

I'm really happy with them.  I have aftermarket struts also and my ride is very stiff.  I made it that way purposely becuase I hate wobbling.  Sorry I don't have a digital camera or anything.  Only pic of my car I have is the day I got it.  Maybe one day I'll get a digital camera.  Make sure you get the springs that go with the GSX though.  They are stronger than the ones that work in all the other models because of our increased weight in the rear end.  I would highly recommend them though.
