Default pix request: lowered on Eibach or H&R springs.

Just a request, I've searched and came up with not much pictures, I want to lower the car with either Eibach or H&R springs, I know coilover is the way to go, but I don't want to spend that much money .

I would like to see before and after pictures of a 2nd gen GS lowered on either springs, prefer with stock wheels so I can see the difference.

thanks alot.

what you guys think for the ride?

I'm debating between Eibach , H&R or Tein.

handling isn't my #1 concern, comfort , ride quality and looks are important, I saw one with 19"s on and it looked very good, anyone has pix of them on 18"s perhaps?
