Default struts/springs

i'm kind of stucked with some options for getting new struts/springs.
which of these are best combination in terms of performance:

1) kyb agx + neuspeed race spring (which i think lower than sports)
2) bilstein OE struts (non-adjustable) + tein S.Tech spring
3) eibach sportsline spring

feel free to mix and match. i heard koni yellow is nice but i can't afford it.
so yea. any opinions, would be great.
thanks

I have option 1. It is a decent setup but since the roads in OC are shit, it is too low for me. If you have bad roads where you live, go with the sport spring. I think option 1 is the best option.

Take into consideration camber kits and alignment too. If you are going to do the suspension, it is best to do it all once everything is torn apart anyway.

if your on a budget:
1.) Tokico Blue shocks, with Skunk2 springs. (non-adjustable)
2.) Tokico Whites with Ground Control Coilover springs (adjustable)

i heard tokicos are ***tty though. i'm not sure, but many people recommended the agx more over the tokicos (even the white one). well i'm planning to use the race spring so i need something that makes a good ride and great performance
