Well, it seemed like a no brainer to me as well.

But, for 350 dollars I can get Tokico Blues with Tokico Springs ..

or

I can get Tokico Illuminas with no springs.

None right now ..

But, I wouldnt be against buying a different brand of coilovers. I dont know anything about the quality of the tokico springs .. plus the max drop you can get out of them I hear is 1.75 inches.

I second that. You can get the illuminas with springs on ebay for $470 shipped. You're almost there. Just save the rest of that money. You won't be disappointed.

Well,

I want a good adjustable coilover something that I can get a good drop out of. And I want this set up to be TIGHT. None of that bouncing around garbage.

Then go with the illuminas since they're 5 way adjustable and some GC coilovers. For shocks you could also go with the KYB reds, but they're a little more pricey and I'm not sure of the compatibility with GCs.
