Illumina's and H&R springs - Best source?

Somewhat newbie question, don't flame. I am 99.9% committed to getting this setup in the next 30-days, have a few questions about ordering:

- Other than ebay, where is the best place to purchase (separate locations OK)?
- Other than struts/springs, what else might I need to do in conjunction with this install?
- Does anyone have part#'s that I can reference when ordering?
- H&R or Tein S-Tech? That is my last fudge point. Reccomendations for one or the other? Differences?

Thanks all for your help!!

check out adventon.com and performancepeddler.com
adventon has the rears, i believe for a good price, and performancepeddler can give you all 4 illuminas for $408 shipped with the maxima.org discount. just type maxima or maxima.org in the entry line on the left of the page. however, performancepeddler may be out the rears like they have been for so long, so going rears from adventon and fronts from PP turns out to be about $412 or something shipped. or something like that. either way definitely beats e-bay.

i'm am in the same boat as you. i went for illuminas and s-techs. i got the s-techs off of e-bay for about $150 shipped. (does anyone know a better place for these? just curious.)

at the same time I am getting mtgzg's (spell check?) rear strut mounts from a member for the added travel as well as front dustboots since my stock ones have seen better days.

that's about all i can offer you. i haven't had any experience myself. maybe someone else can add.

Thanks man! I did the Iluminas, still deciding on springs. Want to lose the 4x4 look, but I do not want the slammed look or the choppy ride. Choice is now between Tein H-Tech, H & R, and Eibachs. I want a 'finshed' look with stock SE 16's, something around a 1.5" drop or so. Any more would look bad with stockers and would affect ride quality too much. H & R is leading the pack right now, unless someone is willing to convince me otherwise?

Will make a choice EOD...
