tokico HP's and springs for $443? good? or GR2/STECHS?

im in need of new springs and shocks/struts. ive been searching for a good deal as cheap as i can get and i was wondering if tokico HP's and springs for $443 was a good deal or not? i saw the same package on another site that said the drop was only 1", which i wish was a little bit more. (http://www.importrp.com/product.php?...&cat=76&page=1)

i was also looking at gettin some S-Tech's and KYB GR2's which came out to about the same price and gave me about a 1.5"drop. (GR2's off redlinemax and S-tech's k2motor.com)

which setup do you think would be better?

AGX springs are stiff in cold weather. Try the Tein H-Tech springs with Tokico HP struts. THe All-Tokico setup is nice, and really drops more than just 1", if it is the real Tokico setup. There is a write-up on the org main page (or at least there used to be).

Tein S need an adjustable strut, if you want the struts to last. With the AGX, it will be a pretty rough ride. The Illuminas will be a bit better, but the cost is substantial.

I recommend the Tein H and Tokico HP from personal experience on 3 different Maximas.

You could just go with a coilover kit, I'm thinking about getting Tein BASIC's. And as far as the drop goes, they are adjustable from 1.7"-3.6" drop up front and 0.1"-2.9" drop in back

Then again its not really cost effective, cheapest I've found it about $770

They are also a sweet way to ruin your ride and handling, if you don't knwo what you are doing.

Springs and struts are pretty foolproof...
