You should check out Progress Coilovers, the get the best lowering for the money. The ride is freakin sweet too...it took me a little while to get use to it now i wouldnt change my coilovers for any other company...expect Air Runner that is
ok i have some tein ss on my ride which is a galant and dude the ride is sick.. but now that i am changin cars i wanna know whats good for this car. ss has the dampning adjustablity which i like... ride is very sporty not very smooth some times but.. pretty good.. progress dont have the dampenin adjustablility do they?..

Mkkkkkkk....
I had a set of DF210s on mine, and dropped it 2.5-2.75 which wasnt too bad really. Ride is pretty stiff and handles really well.
Progress coilovers is what I have now, and they drop it insanely low, but then again the ride is "soft" and doesnt handle quite as well as DF210s. Theyre made for more of the drop, instead of handling. The ride isnt as bumpy on Progress, but then again it wasnt too bad on DFs either.
Teins are a weak drop IMHO. So are Tanabes. They dont drop it worth a damn. Just depends what you want for the budget. If you got the cash, get the Cuscos because the ride will be sporty and the drop will be low. Same goes for the Blitz Wagons from what Ive heard. If youre on a budget and want slammed, do Progress. If you're on a budget and want sporty handling with less of a drop, look at Tein. If you're on a budget and want a really crappy drop, get Tanabes.
I like my drop on Progress personally. Not even down all the way. Can without a doubt easily lay out with the setup Ive got.

lets see them slammed then Matty!
its really tough to beat the progress. i have 4 sets ready to ship and at $699 plus 5% off that...you can't go wrong.
Its a very very nice product and a very good ride. I agree..if you want to autox at high levels of competition...their may be something better for you out there...but at this price...come on

My wheel well archs are at 23 inches up front, and 23.25 inches in the rear.
I'm going to have to raise my xB when I put on the 18x9.5s in the rear and 18x8.5 up front.
