It really lets you feel that the car is light and tossable. Wish the steering had a bit better feel, but so be it. Swaybar and suspension bits next.

Added genuine Side Sill Extensions for The Rage! Love the look.
Nice. Is it also lowered a bit vs. the previous picture, or just the camera angle?
Just the angle. I have a set of Eibachs on their way from the UK. Notice some rubbing at stock height with 195s and +38 offset (15x6.5 wheels). We'll see what happens with the Eibachs.
Where did you get the Eibachs? And, what did they cost you shipped?
If I get a set, it would most likely be Eibachs or H&R. I've used Eibach multiple times in the past and really liked them though.
I got them through a connection at Eibach (I work in the automotive aftermarket).
I'm hoping to get the springs on this weekend. I had Eibachs one other time on a Nissan Sentra. They were the Sportlines on KYB AGX shocks. They were a bit low for the Sentra; I'm sure the Pro Kits will be great on the Mirage, however. Small drop, shouldn't be too stiff. I'll be sure to post up pics.

Just installed the Eibach Pro Kit on The Rage this weekend. Very easy to install. Took me 2.5 hours including removing the wheels and jacking up the car four times.
Took it for a shakedown run last night, and it helps so incredibly much. Now I just wish the darn thing had about 30 more hp! Regardless, it's a hoot to drive. Just ordered Doax's sway bar to cap it off.
How's it drive? I'd say if Mitsubishi decided to offer a Mirage Sport, it'd drive just like this. Not terribly low, not too firm, but just right. The highway ride is still very compliant. Now to get an alignment.

Threw the stock wheels/tires back on and added a set of Mooneyes-style discs! I kind of like the look. Fuel economy went up a lot vs. the 195/50/15 tires on the way to work. I'm thinking 185/60/14 would probably be a good compromise setup, or perhaps 175/55/15.
