For me i have progress springs right now...its bout a 2.25 drop after it settled...however the only problem with springs is that u arent able to change the height...for me if i were to add a bodykit..which i am pretty soon...my car is way to low cuz my driveway is hella steep..so now i gotta buy coils..so its up to u..if u want ur car to be at a set height..or u want to be able to change it...

Neon Impact: How does your 03 ride with lowering springs. Do you have oe struts. I want to put springs on my 03 but am afraid it will ride like crap and blow out the stock struts.

get springs cause everytime you adjust your coilovers you will need an alignment cause your not gonna get each side exactly right.

i have eibach sportlines and mine and neonimpacts car are identical except for rims.

i also have stock struts with eibach camber kit, great ride

I got Eibach Ground Control, I like'm for their easy adjustability....the ride quality is ok, it depends how low you wanna go....I lowered mine about 2"......Just need some aftermarket shocks and swaybars and my suspension is set......
