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.

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!!!!
