i too have the Skunk2 coilover sleeves and Tokico Blues. i'm VERY happy with my springs but not the shocks adjusting the Skunk2's requires jacking up the car enough so you can grip the locking rings to turn up or down. GREAT spring rates too! (500/400 lb-in)

Neuspeed full bodied coilover spring rates
front 250 rear200lbs
stock spring rates
front 211 rear 117
Granted the rear rate increase is a wonderfull thing, overall their not stiff enough to keep you off the bumpstops if driven aggresively.
Ground-control coilover spring rates for 94-00 teg
front 380 rear 250*
*run them with struts that can handle their stiffness, Illumina's, AGX or Koni yellow
Progress Ground full bodied coilovers (reg or revalveable version)
front 350 rear 250*
*progress can for a fee install different spring rates on their coilvoers and revalve the bodies to match.
Tein ss model full bodied coilovers
front 448 rear 336

Also, FYI...I think some people are missing this.
There are two types of coilovers...FULL coilovers (Spring/shock together, basically, most are fully adjustable height/damp), and Sleeve coilovers, like Ground Control or Skunk, where they are basically Adjustable springs. Not spring/shock full units.
For $699, Neuspeed makes an awesome coilover. Ive seen Tein SS on Groupbuy for ~$850 as well. If I was going to get a reasonably priced coilover setup, I would without a doubt go with the SS'. The H&R kit is nice as well.

Method of adjustment, if the threads freeze (which is probably likely on the cheaper coilovers) or rust, spring rates, quality of construction, fitment, etc.
Needing a camber kit can be determined with an alignment...there is no set drop that you need a camber kit with. Usually any more than around -2.5deg and you may want to look into a camber kit.

Are the Neuspeed and Tein SS full coilovers?
