Hi I need a bit of help choosing a strut/shock and spring combo. I want the best bang for your buck combo that is suited to cornering. I want the best moderately priced non adjustable struts/shocks. I would love a set of Konis but I just cant afford them. For springs I'v read a lot about the eibach pro kit. Would that be a good way to go? Can anyone recommend a place to buy from?

Moog 5662/5665's, Tokico blues. Don't get the KYB GR-2's. The gas adjusts seem to be okay for the rear, but the the gr-2's can't get it done with new IROC front springs. They may be okay with old worn out springs though.

That's a hell of a deal. I wonder what the springs are like though???
They also have a package with the HP's (blues) for $399.

I installed the package in a car with the HP's, I believe both come with the same springs, the car rode nice, though i never drove it hard, so im not exactly sure how it will handle in the corners.

If anyone does, they may be too embarrassed to post about it.

Koni Yellow and Eibach Pro is what I currently run and I'm very happy with them. They are worth the money in my opinion. Several thirdgen sponsors sell them and the prices are normally similar.

If you running short on cash and your current setup is worn then you could just source cheap stock replacements locally.
