Doing suspension...whats the best?

Probably going with Tokico Illuminas,but what springs should I go with? Eibach,H&R..? Also...bad idea to do suspension with stockies on? Or should I get some new wheels and tires first?

Eibachs are more of a sportier spring and a sportier but rougher ride. The H&R's are a softer ride, but great springs and provides great results (closer to stock ride)

If you are looking for ***** to the wall performance you would need some 225" or wider tires.

Good suggestions above.
Read that maxmods stuff, it is very helpful.
You don't have to get aftermarket wheels to drop. Some people just keep their stockies. I would suggest new tires though. You will feel a considerable performance difference, even with the springs, with wider and lower and stickier tires....like gtr_rider said.

h&r and eibach dont give u a noticeable drop at all.

i say go with the tokico illumina package thatn custommaxima sells. i think that thing drops u by about 1.7-1.8" and i hear its very soft and comfy....

Go with H&Rs and Illuminas like you said, but really any spring with the Illuminas would be a great choice. To me, it seems like the Illuminas affect my handling more anyway...
