skunk2 offers higher spring rates than the TEINs for your car and are better for auto-x.

the skunk2 spring offers a 2.5" drop on all four corners with 8K f / 10K r spring rates. Being lower like this will put more of a strain on your strut thus wearing it out faster, but unless you're willing do dish out the money for true coil suspension, it's something you're going to have to live with.
