Good progress man, you should sell me your type-s wheels im due for a trip up north.
Lol alotta people ask me if I'm gonna sell them!! I'd trade them for some 18"s or 19"s....the rims are damn near perfect and the tires are 95% tread some Michelin oem joints.

Well it's official...type-s lip kit is on its way! I'm looking to order suspension this weekend also. Not really sure on what setup to get though. I'm not looking for a racey ride though. I'm running Eibach sports and KYbs on my 04 eclipse and i can't stand the ride. I'd like to keep the type s suspension ride but lower. So I'm up in the air. I've heard good things about Megan. I'm looking to keep the cost of the suspension under 1K.

Any input?

A-Spec kit is hawt!

I haven't heard anything bad about Megans or TEINs. I'm pretty sure that people that want to go crazy low get the Megans and ones who want to adjust the dampening settings and such get the TEINs.I know someone who has H&Rs but I believe they are $1k+.

I'm running TEIN S-Tech springs on stock shocks. I would love a set of coilovers but my budget doesn't allow them right now. I'll have a set one day.

Damn my fault for just now getting back to you. The springs are straight but they are a bit bouncy at times.

I would love a set of coilovers but they are going to have to wait.

07TLTypeS420 I'm glad to see your car slowly get some parts on it! You're going to love the A-Spec kit. Did you get the side skirts as well?
