Product: Eibach Pro Plus Sport Kit, $707.00 delivered from AutoAnything.com
Pros: Feel is not as stiff as I expected, but it is very tight and feels really solid through cornering. Little or no body roll at all.
Cons: Only lowered my car, 2001 EXV6 sedan, 1.5 inches in front and back...I was hoping for a little more
Final Verdict: I love the feel and look...well worth the money...especially if I realize MPG gains (I do a lot of highway miles back and forth to work)

Brand & model: CXRacing 98-02 Accord Coilovers
Price paid and from where: $600 ebay (originally $1153)
Pros: 32 step damping adjustment, great range of height adjustment, comfortable, affordable.
Cons: None so far
Final verdict: These are great coilovers, with proper setup they are more comfortable than factory suspension. I am impressed by how quiet these are, it is almost like you are floating over the road. Last but not least, these coilovers can go as low as you will ever need and then some.

Here's a couple pics.

The coilovers (didn't take any pics before i put them on)

Brand & model: Eibach Sportline
Price paid and from where: $230 from local shop
Pros: Moderate 2" drop front and rear. Improved handling
Cons: None
Final verdict: not for those who are looking to slam their ride. but riding on the stock struts with my 15" steelies and it rides almost the same as stock. been 4 months and haven't blown a strut yet. Great purchase for those looking for a moderate drop and still maintaining ride quality.

Brand & model: Function and Form TypeII
Price paid and from where: $700 from Vex Motorsport during black friday sale

Final verdict: Worth the money paid for, if I had to do it again, I'd get custom springs or cough out some more money and get BC

Brand & model: BC Coilovers
Price paid and from where: $1050.00 Straight from BC.
Pros: Custom spring rates. Dampening adjustments. Does not bottom out as easily as the FF1's.
Cons: Wish i got 14/12k spring rates instead of 12/10k, but the ride is still smooth.
Final verdict: Best upgrade I've done to my car yet. I'm glad I didn't cheap out and get FF1's again. These coilovers deliver.

Brand & model: XLR8 ISC N1 Coilovers 12K/10K
Price paid and from where: $955 (free shipping) from Excelerate Performance
Pros: Absolutely amazing build quality, these feel like they will last a long time. Has 32 way adjustable dampers which actually work, is super easy to lower and raise, and they looks awesome. They took my body roll to virtually none.
Cons: None that I can think of.
Final Verdict: This was probably the best 1000 dollars I've ever spent. Absolutely love the ride, and the height drop. I can see why these are so popular with the Subaru and Acura crowd.
