Coilovers... the only way to go IMO. Then again it depends on what kind of drop / comfort level you are looking to keep. Coilovers are nice to get the aggressive drop but your regular spring / strut combo will give you a better more comfortable ride. Unless you spend the 1300+ for some JIC's.

Illumina's / eibach

Or

Coilovers. There are quite a few out there but bang for buck it's going to be K-Sports.

By the way I think you should've went witha 235 instead of a 225.
