Between those I would choose the eibach's. But then again, what are your intentions... daily driving? daily and the occasional autocrossing? or straight tracking?

I dont have tokico blues ( i have the next step up; illuminas) and i would not buy them again.

I just do spirited driving/plan to autocross and if i could go back in time i would get koni/ ground controls.

I know thats not one of youre choices but i would def spend the money the first time and do it right so you wont be dissappointed and not get what you expected

I'd say get eibach.

Just throwing this out there, what I would do if I were you is go get a decent set of coilovers. It's the best way to go IMO.

Out of those choices, probably the blue Tokicos or the Skunk2s, but why spend money on parts that aren't adjustable? That seems like a waste, and you don't want to get stuck in one setup. Adjustable shocks just aren't that much more expensive.

What problems did you have with your Illuminas, fastrxu? I've been using a set for probably 5 years now and have nothing but good things to say about them. I'm also running a set of Ground Control springs and coilover sleeves, which I'm tempted to say are oversprung for the shocks but I've never had any problems and they've served me very well at autocross. Just wondering what your impressions were, too.

Well I found some skunk2 springs that drop it that much.

And then I found some that drop it this much 2.5 in front drop , 2.25 in rear drop.

So I guess it depends on which ones you get
