Hey I havent been on in a while cause I been working 7 days a week. Im about to add some few things to my 99 eclipse, and I was wondering lowered springs or Coilover sleeves?? Full coilovers is expensive, I just want to know the pros and cons about the two and which one is worth the money.

Thankx

coilover sleeves aren't bad if you get decent ones, I think ground control makes a kit for our cars. I used them on my integra and had good results. you do need to be careful to not drop things too much otherwise your struts won't last very long at all.

Springs are like $200 for a nice set.

Oem shocks can be lowered on but they dont like it (trust me, i've seen enough locals do this to their 2g's)

Sleeves ride like ass unless you get the ground controls.

Honestly, i'd save for full coilovers. You'll want the adjustability down the road. I promise you will. They're worth every penny to tweak ride hight and dampening when you please. The price of gc sleeves and tokico illums or kyb agx's are around the price of used full coilovers.

With sleeve coilovers you will blow your stock struts in about 2 days. If you buy aftermarket struts for your sleeve coilovers you also have to remove the strut perch on all 4 struts. This voids your strut warranty and you're SOL if something happens. Pick up a set of basic tein's for $650-700 or else get aftermarket struts/springs for around $400-500.

get K-sports Kontrol Pro true coilovers.. 700 bucks for all 4
150% better than tein basic set plus they include the top hat section which Tein does NOT

See here for my post about it..
And I've beat the crap out of these shocks since I installed them and they are brand new with no issues at all.

go with the k sports!! I just got mine for 550 off ebay brand new. Much better ride than just springs and worth every single penny!!!

from experience I would recomend you get full coilovers, they are worth every penny!! I bought them used and had to do some work on them, but it is totally worth it! I can feel the car handle so much better now...
