Finally gonna start saving for a drop! What set should I get?

I decided to finally start saving for a new suspension. I'm trying to decide which set to go with. I'm looking for a combonation of good handeling and ride. Price really doesn't matter, but not over 800.

if nuthing over $8oo then go to the group deal section and jump in on the jic coilover kit they are going for $700. .


but if your not trying to spend that much try the tokico illumina's for about $500

or the kyb agx's for about $400

or the tokico hp's for about $300
or mix and match like what i plan to do like the tein s tech springs with tokico illumina or kyb agx's shock and strut combo

If you choose not to go with coilovers, Illumina's are the best bar none! I'd highly recommend Eibach pro's for springs, mild drop, excellent handling, set the Illumina's to #2 front and #3 and get a nice smooth but controlled ride for day to day commute, turn them up to #4 or #5 and go autocross on weekends!! Great combination, I know I won't switch to anything else. I've run Eibachs on previous cars such as 300ZX TT and 240sx and loved them. Hope this helps good luck.

The best deal on Illumina's was $408 shipped on a group deal with performancepeddler started by kbmaxima I believe.

i say go with the tokico illumina and h&r setup. thats what i have, its a decent drop, but the handling is great and the ride comfort isnt hurt too much.i spent 500 on the struts and about 200 on springs. id say thats below ur 800 dollar limit, but then again u have to then pay 70 or so for an alignment but still a good setup.
