Default Suspension package help?

Okay guys, I know there has been much debate over the best spring shock combo and I have had just about most of them over the years but I need the best cheap combo I can find for my hatch for now. I have been hearing about the KYB GR-2's being better than most aftermarket shocks. I am looking for a good spring/shock combo for under $400.00. Any suggestions on what and where to go? Currently I have illumina's and Eibach pro-kit on my coupe and it's great but i don't want to spend that much on my hatch due to recent budget constraints but the stock ones are gone.

ITR springs and KYB AGXes should get you right around $400 if you shop around. About an 1" drop ... I don't know how much you're looking for though.

Tirerack.com has the best deal I've seen on AGXs around.

Shivers, where would you recommend getting the ITR springs from? I too am interested in a set of them for my civic. I was thinking about the Eibachs, but they would give me too much of a drop. The driveways suck in my town.

www.howbarmotorsports.com has h&r race for 127 shipped ...they took down their online shopping but you can still call in a order..and you shoulkd be able to get the AGXs around 325 shipped from an ebay store like http://www.stores.ebay.com/id=62537821&ssPageName=L2 .... It all comes out to about 450.....ummm alittle more than your 400.....
But I like the set up alot......Just my 2 cents

And sorry in advance if this post violates the linking to ebay rule.

Oh, I love the pro-kit and have decide that I'll probably get them for my hatch as well. I have had the Pro-kits for two tears or so and I love them. I have had them on blues, illumina's, and the pro-dampners (which are by far the best). As soon as I get my fukkn camera to work with my computer I will post some pics. I lost the damn cd that came with the camera and cannot get my new computer to get the pictures.

does anyone use the sportline kit. I wanna see the drop im after a sick drop as the car has no exhuast so im not worried as much about ground clearance. I want max performance in terms of handling and looks. Please post any pix u have of a sportline lowered car.
