More importantly what do you expect from these springs and shocks/struts. Are you drag racing, road racing, or just looking for a better stance and handling for day to day driving.

For a daily driver street car....

Eibach Pro-Kits (Lowers it a bit, not as much as the Eibach Sportlines)

Tokico HP Struts/Shocks Quality product for a GREAT price!

add some leaf springs, hugeshackles, top it off with frogged rear wheels maybe a footprint gas pedal if you got money left.
