I will post a picture later.
I have eibach springs and I paided 300 for them from mazdatrix in signal hill a couple of months ago. The ride is great and is not stiff at all. Sometimes I forget that it is even lowered since it drives so nice still.

Here's mine. Espelir springs 219.00 from vivid racing. Install was free (me and my brother put them in). LOVE them! Ride is smooth, handling is awesome.

im pretty sure those are the s-tech or something similar right? cuase the s-tech tein springs are usually the cheaper ones. now their coilovers are a totally different story. the ss is around 1200 and the flex is around 1400.

Tein S-tech springs for $174 from option imports.

I just finished the install myself this morning, less then 50 miles so far. Not going to push it until I get some miles and an alignment next Monday, but the ride quality seems the very good.

Gaps to start: Front 5 1/8" & Rear 4 1/2"
Gaps now: Front 4 1/4" & Rear 4 1/4"
Attached is pic of how I measured the gaps....the drop is about half of the stated drop of 1.5" front & .7" rear.

Will post some pics after it quites raining here!!!!
