cut a coil off the eibachs, weapon R is a "cheap" company, if you really want a better drop look into sprint, if you want to do coilovers ground controls or if you got the loot, spring for JIC's

i called them before, i was gonna try them out, but i called and they told me spring rate was like 650/450 which is wayyyy too high IMO. i think they think the max weighs more than it really does. but they have a secondary spring sysem that is a softer rate. to take the bumps and improve ride before the high linear high rate kicks in. as for quality goes, i dont think the perch or cap will break or anything on the coilover. weapon R is considered a "cheap" company i guess but i think that is because they are fairly new and the fact that they are more into the ricey market just makes them look cheesy. its like how maxspeeds are so cheap but they are a good spring IMO.

The lower you go, the stiffer the springs are going to have to be to keep them off the bumpstops with very little travel. That's why all coilover systems are "very stiff"

It's just a fact of life.
