I'd go with Eibach. Weather it's Pro-Kit, Sport, or the ERS that come with GC coilovers; they are the best product out there.

Don't just go buying springs though, you need to budget for some Konis, or else no matter what you buy, your springs will be underdamped and your ride will suck.

If you're going cheap just to look good, I can gaurantee that you'll have a crappy ride. That's where most of the 'I'm bouncy' / 'my ride sucks' threads come from. Just wanted to let you know what you may be getting into if you go cheap.

ok i understand that and ill think aobut it i just know that ppl recommend them for a h22eg swap so i figured there pretty good even articles recommend this kit so i figure they go to be pretty good its not like there matrix or type s racing **** form walmart so i figure there good enough for now as far as looks, engine swap and budget and they cant be that bad for the road. remember i would do a coilover system but no $ for it right now unless i get a donation! thanks for the tech help

as for the hatchback the SPORT SPRINGS for they have a 2.3 inch drop front and back, as for SPRINGS rates its 320 front/ 240 back
which is stiffer than ITR springs
