Koni's are great but arent that cheap. What is your budget?
How low do you want to go?

Affordable and smooth is very easy, it's called stock.

how long does the springs last? I have a set of H&R springs, the black ones with white writings, got it with the car, i think my stock shocks are getting weak, i was thinking about getting the tokico blues and just put my H&R springs back on....

btw which ones are better the tokico blues or the tokico illuminas?

The Illuminas are better. They have adjust-ability and allow you to go lower. The Blue's/HP don't have any adjustment's and can handle 1-1.5" of drop.

Save the money and do it right, KONI Yellow with Ground Control kit...never hear compliants about that setup and always hear how well they handle. Just what I hear though from reputable sources...
