depends on what you want... do you want to DROP it or jus lower it a little with some comfort or what are you looking for. Sprint springs are the lowest spring you can get at 2.00 all the way around, but a few people say the ride isnt all that smooth. Then you can get s-techs and they are like 2.2 in the front but like 1.8 in back but everyone says they give the most even drop and the rides not bad. or you could go with the tokico springs that are like 1.5 i think that lower the car a little bit and are comfortable. so really its all up to you.

Why would you want Tokico Illuminas if you dont want to drop the car? Go with the Tokico Blue if you dont care about dropping the car.

If you want a ride like a Lexus or Acura, you might as well stay with the stock set up. Your still not going to get that type of ride though.

I dont think you know what you want yet. Figure it out before you shell out some serious dough.

just having new Illumina struts down there in general is going to enhance the quality of the ride. Illuminas on setting 2 with stock springs is one of the most comfortable rides available. Just make sure to replace the bound bumbers, boots, bearings, and seats while you are in there.

Don't change the springs, there are no shorter springs that can match the OEM ride quality.

Can't go wrong with the Tokico springs, I got the same kit on ebay that you listed there, and it's great. I say go for it. It drops the car just enough. Makes the car look "normal", the stock wheel gap was so 4x4 ( ). Not to mention the ride quality, feels very nice!
