Spend the extra cash and get the Illuminas rather than the HPs, definetly worth it.

i would think so...but do wat smoothmax said, get the illuminas instead. Don't get AGXs because i heard they make noises in the snow.

Yes, the lowering springs are included with the "kit" as well as the struts.

a nice selection of illuminas with all sorts of prices. $440 shipped is actually a good price for illuminas.

I have the Illuminas paired with Progress springs and I couldn't be happier. I think someone's selling a set of brand new Progress springs in the 4th gen F/S forum.

Illuminas and H&R's are damn nice...except for the excessive hard hits that I get from city driving. My exhaust was already falling apart before (hooks rusting off, rusted seams), and it's getting progressively worse everyday. Handling is damn fine though, but a bit of understeer right now because I need an alignment.

I'm soon to get the Tein S. Tech and Illlumina combo and I'm expecting miracles to happen from the Illuminas because of all the hype. Hope I don't get dissapointed.

Thats the exact suspension setup I want to get. Let me know how the install goes and if it will be worth getting.

don't get tokico HP shocks. they sux. they are worse than KYB GR2s (for both price and function)

- which performance lowering springs are you talking about specifically? H&R? eibach? maxspeed?

- i say if u are looking for a simple drop go for maxspeed, good price, stiffer than H&R but softer than eibach.

- if you are going for low rider get either tein-s or sprint, but u'll definetly need to pair it up with an adjustable shocks.

- illuminas are better than agx, but agx has better price.

- koni yellows are the best shocks if you got enough $$.
