There are a lot of options out there but the prefered combo is tokico blue struts and eibach pro kit. This provides a 1.6" drop. Currently there is a group buy going on for these, refer to for sale section, and there is a an active thread about them in aftermarket upgrades.

Please use the search function. You can also search for KYBs, Intrax or JIC magic FLT A2 if you want coil overs.

I believe Tokico is a bit more than KYB. :wink:

That's correct. Cox Imports is where I got my KYBs. I paid like around 300 for the set of 4. I am pretty certain Tokicos are about 50-150 dollars more a set.
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.

Tokico is better than KYB, and KYB's are cheaper than Tokico. So yeah you paid more than you should have since it's really nothing to be proud of.
