Decisions on suspension

Well I only start threads when I absolutely cant make up my mind.

Ive had my progress springs in for about 2 yrs and naturally my stock shocks/struts are shot to h3ll and the ride is horrible.

I can only spend about $600- Do I have any chance in h3ll of getting some decent couilovers (like Tosers-not sure about quality though)

Or Should I just go ahead and get Tokico Illuminas and get Teins(for a little lower drop)?

All opiniions are welcome. Thanks

Stick with the Tein / Illumina combo and you'll be happy. If i'm not mistaken, there are only 2 or 3 members with Tosers and no others can be found.
