any car guy would've cried to see what the previous owner of my talon did to the suspension. so this past weekend i spent the rest of my money and bought all new struts, with all necessary hardware, and spent all of friday and some of saturday putting on the new suspension. oh yeah i also got three of the original springs and another from a 99 RS. so i got all the suspension on and the right side of the car is exactly one inch taller than the left side. the struts are "gas adjustable" so i tried doing that to even it out but to no avail. so im thinkin that one or more of the springs is bad. my question is i like how the left side looks, being an inch lower, so what are some good springs that lower the car about an inch to 1 1/4 that still retain much of the oem ride quality. im lookin at either eibach or suspension techniques or something else. but i would appreciate any info. if any of you have these springs, please tell me some good qualities and bad qualities of them. thanks again

well i went ahead and got the Tanabe springs. they seemed like the best deal. i like the low look, but i dont like very harsh ride quality. i went ahead and got these because i despertly need an alignment already and it would be stupid to drive all winter and ruin my brand new tires, only to get an alignment next spring (along with new tires) which is when i planned on putting sport springs on it. this way, the springs only lower it about 1.2" so it will still be very drivable in the winter, yet still has a nice appearence. plus these springs lower the car the least of all the springs i found. and they are Tanabes. If that isnt a great performance name brand, then i dont know what is. not saying that Eibach or any others isnt. anyway, they should be here in a week or so. thanks again.
