Eibach pro kit is the way to go. I ordered mine through Drivewire. They had the best price I could find. I found a place that had them cheaper, but charged $40. to ship, so Drivewire ended up being cheaper. That is a direct link to the Pro Kit for your car.

All of those above have been used, however, the standard is Eibach. For the cost, and quality you can't go wrong. 60% of the people polled here were using Eibach, and at another forum, it is closer to 80% Eibach users. It seems to be the industry standard.

yeah my struts went to garbage. I had them on stock struts which is a no no. It was ok at first then got really harsh so I put the stock springs back on then they started leaking and are now blown. The problem with lowering springs, especially sprints and s. techs are that they are soo low, they dont leave any suspension travel which causes your struts to bottom out which prematurely causes failure on the struts part.

Tein's are good. They are not as stiff as the Eibach, and will bottem out (hit the bumpstop) but they have a closer to stock feel, and not so bumpy, like the Eibach's.
