      Is anyone having luck with a set of ebay coilovers? My car isnt really in good enough condition to warrant $1,000 shocks

            I have the coil overs from ebay, yeah Ideal is right, a fricken freight train on the road. One bump and you can feel your feet being shoved through your throat :-)

            I will probably keep mine on this summer, just because I have alot of other stuff to do before FMS springs can be installed.

              I was looking for the most appropriate size threaded bodies and then get some cheapo circletrack springs ... I figure 250 front and 200 rear.

              Just found these... http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
              Nice huh?

                10" springs will barely fit in the front and will be 1" too long in the back (requiring precompression)

                I have 9" Front and rear (220F, 180R) the fronts have about 1" of lowering and the rears are bottomed out
                at just under stock height.

                I was looking at these as well since they are progressive and if you are not interested in lowering at all and
                just want a stiffer spring these may work for you.

                I would recommend 8" for the front and rear. This allows a decent drop all around, you could also use
                7" if you want to go real low.

                Unfortunately QA1s 8" springs cost more than EIBACHS which you can order for $60 each from the
                GC store at http://www.ground-control-store.com
