TEIN IS NOT CHEAP WAY ON THIS....
Eibach sportlines 1.7" drop all around i think most of the time $180 ish NEW
KYB AGX's $450 all 4 shocks good all around shock
Installation should be done professionally id say maybe 150 ish labour anywhere you go maybe cheaper i dunno...

I bought Tein lowering spring and tokico chocks for only $700 plus $150 labour came out to $850. After 6 months, I bought adjustable coilover sleeves for $120 and I installed it myself in my garage. Now my car is slamed in the summer and winter it will be stock .

With my experience TOKICO BLues are JUNK!!!
Tokico Illuminas are an Adjustable shock with decent quality...
KYB AGX's adjustable shock better quality more versatile meaning it'll handle well from factory height to scraping the floor...
KYB GR2's are a slightly better than factory replacement shock not reccommended for lowering lower than 1" and non adjustable so if you decide to do otherwise and change you'll have to do shocks as well...
Like i said before i reccommend Eibach springs great quality and ride but if you want adjustable coilover i say go with quality so ride isnt sacrificed too drastically...
If you look at modified suspensions on the road one's that bounce around like crazy after a bump are coilover sleeves, and most likely inadequate shocks...
I say 200 ish for a nice set of Skunk2 coilover sleeves or equivalent but in doing this route get a great shock to minimize the bounce back common in coilover sleeves....

Expensive but great to are KONI Yellows

hey you guys are real help. well im hesitating between kyb agx and the koni yellows. for the lowering springs im looking to go with some coilovers becaue im looking to add a body kit so i dont want to get 2" springs and then realize that it is too low.
where can i get this installed for less than 200$? so kyb agx is good pic"? better than tokico illumina?
