I would recommend Eibach Sportline springs. Very good IMO.

Ground Control + Tokico Illumina shocks.

The Ground Control is a coilover setup, which allows you to adjust the ride height. It's very good to have your daily drive your car. You can change it as the road conditions vary in your area (i.e snow/ice/etc).

I've heard mixed reviews on the Ingalls kit. I'm probably going to stick with Skunk2/Omni.

for those saying tokico blues, you guys do know that it IS an OEM replacement shock?

spend the extra money and get illuminas if you really want tokico.

Why?


As far as the suspension goes, I would go with Ground Controls, I loved mine and when you go with springs you run the risk of the car not sitting level. Shocks, id go with Illuminas or Koni Yellows.
