Yeah sorry, hard to post at work. Why didn't you help him out? Just kidding mang. When it comes to lowering the car, I feel it to be a safer bet to go with something that has been tested (meaning used by someone already, now some folks will say that springs are springs, same spring can sit in different rides). Neuspeed coil-overs have not been used to my knowledge. I would think it wise to consider Skunk2, Ground Controls, Tein Basic (if you have the money), and Mugen (non-adj. and if you have the cash).

Ground Controls $339.00 (from options auto, call showstoppers)

Ground Control Adjustable Coilover Kits allows you the option to customize the ride height of your vehicle. Unlike other spring kits that require removal of the strut assembly, the unique design of the Ground Control kit allows for quick, easy adjustment. Simply lift the corner(s) to be adjusted and spin the adjuster up or down to raise or lower the vehicle. Ground Control spring kits are designed to be used with either stock or aftermarket shocks.
All height adjustable kits feature Eibach Springs. These high quality springs offer a lifetime warranty against defects. All adjusters consist of a threaded sleeve and adjustable spring seat and are made using 6061 aluminum, anodized for greater durability and appearance. All other adapter hardware is machined from the same high strength 6061 T-6 aluminum.
Note: This Kit will only fit Stock, Sashs, Boge Shocks.
Tech note: For the Front, trimming of stock spring seat allows added range of adjustment.

Skunk2 $336.00

Skunk2 Adjustable Coilover Kits are the ultimate in street-level performance and quality. Each kit includes CNC machined threaded aluminum sleeves and hot-rolled SAE 9254 racing springs. Skunk2 Racing's hot-rolled springs are the key to its superior performance and unsurpassed ride quality. Skunk2 Racing Coilvers are available for late model Hondas, Acuras, VW's, and Mitsubishi Eclipse, and allow up to a 4" drop.


Just remember there are springs and coil-overs that can pull it off in other cars. There is a reason why the Neuspeeds aren't even an option on vendor sites. Might cost alittle more, but worth the piece of mind.

Hope this helps :)

I have heard many stories about their springs, enough to change my mind on buying them (I wouldn't feel to comfortable with their coil-overs, when there are other brands I like better).
