coilovers or H&R springs?

Hi boys, in one week, I'm doing my Illumina suspension, w/ the H&R springs. But I was looking on e-bay and it seems that coilovers are less money.... Which are better, and what are the differences? And as I'm doing the suspension work, what else should I replace while I have everything apart?
Thanks
Jeff

i doubt those coilovers are any good. legit ones were $700 as per a group deal. illuminas and tokico springs wuld run you about $450 on ebay per set. youll need new kyb dust boots for $60 for all 4. regrease teh strut bearings (you can find that on motorvate.ca)

H&Rs will be a much better option than any of the cheap eBay sleeve-type coilovers.

Real coilovers would be better (though probably not as comfortable), but not the ones you're talking about.

Yeah, these coilovers were like $50. Probably sh** right? So I should get KYB dust covers and strut bearings. All from where?
Thanks again.
