First of all, your car has shocks (shock absorbers), not struts.

Second, Tokico Illumina or Koni Sport or maybe Bilstein HD's are the only shocks I would trust to handle those coilover springs reliably. Anything less will wear out in a relatively short amount of time.

I would say save up a little bit more and get Tokico Illumina shocks.

I don't see why the eibach's would be a bad buy. Can't go wrong with that type of warranty.

Bilstein's are good shocks with a solid warranty. But the KYB's are a good shock for your vehicle and are cheaper. Here's the results for your ride - http://www.shockwarehouse.com/index....cted_year=1992.
