I was looking on ebay at springs for my friends stock 1990 Mirage hatchback and I found Megan Racing for approx. $140 US(including shipping) for the 3G Mirages and I also was looking on the Eibach Pro Series and Sportline Series for the 1G Eclipse AWD. I really wanted to know the main differences and if eventually sagging was the main difference in price and obviously brand name that has been proven.

Any 1g lowering spring is probably going to be too low for a csm.

If you check out my member page or Gallery section photos, (www.gallery.4g61t.org/Flying+Eagle) you can see that with stock struts and 1G FWD lowering springs that are a 1.6" drop on a DSM, prove to be much lower on a CSM, added to that is my shorter tires, so I sit pretty low. The rear is setup higher, but the front is pretty "foghat" looking - READ lowrider. 8) H&R springs and the code I believe is in my member posts, hopfeully with enough pictures to show the height. 205/50/15" Hercules G 3000v tires on JDM rims of some sort.

So if I want to buy Eibach springs than I should go with a pair for a 2G GSX? I'm talking more about the Pro-kit springs, because they don't lower the car as much as the Sportline springs do. I thought most people on here run 1G aftermarket springs? So what is the best springs made to fit a 3G CSM?

Hey, I looked on your pics and I really don't think your car is near low. I have owned many cars that were very low but I had 1 in particular a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST and I dropped that on its belly(it was around 1.5-2 inches from the ground that is low).
