OK guys, well, I have a blown front right strut, so instead of replacing it with OEM parts I have decided its time to upgrade the susp. I don't AutoX or antyhing besides drag sometimes and the car IS my DD so I have opted from not going the coilover route, at least for now.

So, what I am asking is, I want an aggressive drop w/ performance at the same time. I have been told to go with Eibach Sportlines and Tokico's for my spring strut combo. If anyone has pics of this drop so I could see how it would look thatd be great.

Also, and mainly, I am asking for suggestions on what some spring/strut combos are out there that provide decent drops with added handling so HELP me decide...

Ive got coiliovers and I highly recomend it. I just installed these last night and I thought it was going to be a lot rougher than it is. Even with a 9/7 spring rate combo. They're amazing. And the cool thing about them is I can be like, man my car looks a little high, I think I'll take a quarter inch off.

Ive had the agx/sportlines for about a month now.

A really good setup if you have a limited budget like myself...

The extra $300 you save could be spent on bushings.

I had the Agx/Sportline combo a few years back, they were a little to soft for me. Now there are a few more choices.

I know this is probably not what you are looking for, but man, by the time you get springs and good strut and ship them both you are pretty close to a MR coilover. That will be dampened for the springs and you won't bounce.

Do we have a budget to work with?AGX's and Eibach's are good choices, but there's better to be had for sure.

You need to ride in as many S13's with springs/struts as possible to get an idea.
