Default Tokico shocks with Eibach pros? good? bad?

I wanted to get an upgraded suspension and was wondering if this would be a good setup.

Tokico non-adjustable shocks with Eibach Pro springs. all totaling about $500 and optauto.com

or should i save and get the adjustable shocks which are about $120 each (the illuminas)

the non-adjustables are about $70-80 a piece.

also, how about the H&R OE or Sport springs instead of the Eibach's? theyre a bit cheaper.

my car is a 98 GSR

I'm sure a lot will agree that for $480 for the shocks, just toss in a few more dollars and get the Koni yellows.

i like the Koni's but theyre $150 a piece + the cost of springs... so about $800. a bit much for a part time working student =/

adjustable shocks for integras werent designed for drag racing.

if you are spending $480 for illuminas you are pissing your money away on those....just buy KYB AGX or save the extra bucks and get koni yellows...illuminas are overpriced and not a great shock for the integra, other cars they are better on.....i dont know why but they are weak for integras....

well aside from the shocks. what do you think about the eibachs. i know theyre good, but the H&R OE's are $50 cheaper... and im not looking for a huge drop either. .75 i guess would be ok and 1.3 would be nice too (Eibach Pros)

You should be able to find a set of h&r sports (very good springs) for around 150 and a set of koni yellows for around 500 (try shox.com) 650 for a very pro set up. H&R sports and eibach pro kits are hand in hand imho. Cept the sports are just a little bit lower.
