I think it's time to lower. I've got some money left over from my accident a month ago. I'm gonna go for about a 1.5" drop. Question is who to buy? Tokico Illumina shocks and springs set, H&R sport springs, or Tein S-Tech, of course I'd have to get some struts with the H&R's or Tein's.

Get some Eibach Pro-Kit Springs like mine. The 1.5 inch drop is just right.

never heard that before. always heard the exact opposite

i've got H&R sport. they're great springs, but i can't really say much because i'm still riding on stock shocks (which are completely dead). the shop i goto uses H&R springs religiously.

I'm riding on the Eibachs with KYB shocks and they're awsome. I too had always heard good things about Ebiachs before I bought them.

So there is no "premium" brand I take it. I figured it'd be the Illumina kit cause it cost so damn much. Anyways keep the comments coming I appreciate you guys letting me know how your set up's work.
Thanks

I have Eibach Pro-Kits and Tokico Illuminas. It's a pretty popular setup. I've heard nothing but good things about the Pro-Kits and the Illuminas. If you're looking to get the Illumina spring and shock combo, check ebay (I think it's around $450). If you're looking for a 1.5" drop, I'd definitely go with Pro-Kits.

In your opinion would it be better to get the full Tokico setup or mix and match?
