This is a good site for research. Ebay is a good place to buy. Just use the search button in the upper right corner and you'll go far :wink: .
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.

^^^you have to buy the springs and struts seperate. Can't remember how much I paid, but it's not that bad.

I've got the Tokico/Eiback setup, only thing I don't like is that the drop is uneven....lower in the back.

Before my coilovers, I had KYB/Eibach setup. I was surprised the KYB's were better than I thought. Definately go for the Tein springs, the Eibachs sag in the rear making the front look lifted. The Tein's give a very even drop.
