they say it fits rs, gs, gst, gsx. How does it fit all? Whats the difference between them all? I want to get this to drop my car, the cheap way, but I want to know if it fits and will work well.
Please stay away! Those have to be the cheapest fucking thing I have ever seen.

A buddy of mine bought some eBay cheapies a few years back for his '95 Talon and I don't know if they could been any bigger POS's. Terrible ride, poor fitment, cheap build. I can't image how shitty the latest eBay cheapies have come to be.

Those will fit all the models, they are just sleeves that fit over the shock body. They will drop your car, but I can guarantee the ride will suck and so will the handling.

So I should stick with what I have and wait to get the goodies. What about changing my springs to some dropped springs, Eibach, Sparco, or H&R? Would that be decent enough?

You could also check into QA1 products since they are a local manufacturer: http://www.qa-one.com/

You'll want to replace your shocks at the same time as you install springs or coilovers.

I got some fairly new stock gst struts, would those work? They have less than 2k on them.

They should work out with some Eibach Pro-Kit springs, but don't go with anything lower than that. They'll deffinately wear out faster than with stock shocks, but since they are so new it'll be good for a while at least.
