I hear Teins are the best but you better have loot.

I got RSR springs and tokico illuminas and love it. Perfect for my Budget Racer.
I got my illuminas way cheaper on ebay like $300 or so, way cheaper then tuner shops.

Low level tein setups arent all that great. I would go with the tried and true ground control/koni combination. Ground controls have awesome ride quality, and handling. Great for the street, and very confident at the track.

Yeah its all in what your looking for, I would go with a full coil over before sleeves just my opinion. Both tein and skunk2 make good products in a resonable price range...check spring rates and all that too.
