IM glad he asked this question tho because im on eibach sportlines and looking to go megan coilovers but theres not a whole lot of reviews on them. ANd to answer the OP quest and as far as what else youll need it all depends on how low you go. Anything less than 1 inch drop youll only need rear arms. Some people actually get lucky and don even need those tho. Anything more than an inch and you wont be able to re align your front end and new controll arms will be needed to get everything back into spec

there are far, far better choices - at the risk of sounding like everyone else, start searching there is a wealth of info
set your budget, set your goals (be honest...don't say "track" if you've never been to the track and know deep down you rarely, if ever will) - the choices narrow themselves very quickly once you honestly address these 2 things

^ would be a good choice for a daily driver that wants a good range of height adjustent (Eibach allow for 1.5 inches of drop front/rear), as well as the BC Racing (which go to about 2 inches front/rear)

basic's let you drop the car 2.4 inches up front (2.3 on a convertible) and 1.1 inches out back (.7 on convertible)
basics: http://z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?model...ing&prodid=303
the Eibach or BC would be far better choices than either for the $$, depending on what you need in a budget oriented setup

BC and stance, both are good. I have GR+ pro, and I just ordered the 10k springs for the rear for little more stiffer than the 5k that stance originally offer for the rear. Both of these coilovers are great in height adjustable and perform very good on aggressive driving, drifting and partially tracking.

a 5k spring to a 10k spring requires alot more than just changing the spring itself - and a 10k spring on a 'true' rear coilover on this car borders on retarded assuming you're using stock bushings and anything short of an R Compound
