Are you installing yourself? Even then, it might be hard to meet your price requirement.

There's tons of info out there ... search a little

Get Tein springs. they are the best springs you can get. better drop then H&R too. And a lil cheaper.

I myself am still deciding on Struts.

Which Tein's H or S? Do the ride like H&R's? I'm not into bouncing around.

Well H's are softer and give you more of a daily driver kind of feel. Were S techs are lower its gonna be more stiff and a little more of a jarring ride. The bounciness you are referring too doesn't have as much to do with the springs as much as the struts. IF you want the best struts for the value I would say get the tokico Ills. (Pronounced Toe-keek-co btw. lol) because they have adjustable dampers on them for a softer or more stiff ride hence the crazy price of $500 bones. I heard some good things about KYB AGX Sport those are also Adjustable Gas Shocks, but heard better stuff from Tokico.

Or go for Blues which are cheaper but NON-adjustable. but also $330. UR choice. It is a toughy I know. I been searching and putting off suspension for over 3 years. (but only cause I wanted rims and tires too. lol)

Thanks for the info, very helpful. I learn something new every time (everyday) I'm on here.
