I would recommend going with Tein H-Techs or Eibachs. I think that due to the offset of your wheels, if you went with S-Techs you would run the danger of hitting your tires on the lip of the fender.

i was actually leaning towards the Eibachs...i havent gotten the correct spacers put in either, the ride is def not as smooth as before...perhaps after i replace the springs and put in the spacers it might improve it....umm do i also have to get the struts or shocks replaced?

Yes, stock struts/shocks won't last long coupled with lower springs. Plus it's easier to just do it all at once.

I would try Custom Enterprises. They are one of our sponsors, and they say they will match anyone else's price.

If you are looking to have some adjustability with your set up, go with either Tokico Illuminas or KYB AGX's. If your looking for a less expensive alternative, you could go for the Tokico HP's or KYB GR-2's.

And as always, be sure to mention that you are a NICO member.
