Get the kg/mm springs. They are the best for s2k, but spoon is probably next best choice.

I have the eibach pro kit, but it won't be installed til monday. If you wait, i can give you a review, and post some pictures with 18's. You can pick them up for around 230 if you look hard, install them yourself if you know how and have a spring compression tool, or pay somebody between 300-500 to do it for you. Hope this helps

Two choices:
KG/MM Sport springs if you want it a bit lower/a bit more sporty than stock.

KG/MM Race springs if you drive more aggressively.

I've got the latter on the stock shocks and they're absolutely awesome street or track.

Nope, my local Honda dealer actually quoted me 4.xhrs for the front and 3.x for the rear, coming to over 500$. The ford dealer i regurly go to and know well offered to do it for 380, so i said what the hell. Kinda disappointing no matter how you look at it, but it is cheaper.

I've been doing some research on these springs as well. Is there any big difference between the different brands? There are so many that it gets confusing.

Ok, so where does one go to do the research necessary to make a decision?
