what should i buy for suspension?

Ok im loking at buying the tokico illumina shocks and struts. I was wondering what spring set i should buy. Should i just get the standard 1.5 front 1.3 rear lowering springs or should i get a set of coil over adjustables? If you do suggest the adjustables then would a pair on ebay that sell for $65 do the trick? Any feedback would be great.

I am going to say what must guys on the org say try to stay away from the cheap ebay stuff. I know some of the things there sound like a great deal, But some of the things there are big P.O.S. Try to stick to places like Cattman and southwest theyn have a very good rep and Offten show the Org love with group deals and such. Just My $.02
Now I have Tien S-tech I like them So that is up to you spring or coil over

well let me add a little more info. I was going to set this car up for autcross and was hoping to get better handling out of the car. I didnt know if adjustable or straight drop springs would be better? I do kinda like the fact that i can raise it up for winter driving and lower it for racing with the adjustable coil overs but i dont know the pros and cons of each.

Coil overs tend to have a stiffer ride. and the ride height thing is a big plus. usually coil over spring rates change with the height and drop spring are a set rate. Coil Overs cost more because with ajustable shocks you can set up you suspension to most any thing you want to do. I also paln to go with Coil overs in the future but I got tried of the 4x4 Maxima look. hope that helps a bit
