Comptech $675.00
1.5 all around drop

Eibach $ 215.00
1.00 drop

HKS $249.00
front 1.06 back 1.13

Spoon Sports $ 400.00

I agree with Josh, but if i were you, i would save your money and get a full coilover setup instead.

i Recomend as a first pick Billstein PSS which is what i have on mine.

But theres also
ZEAL
J's Racing
T1R
Buddy Club
APEXi
HKS
JIC
TEIN
Skunk 2
Tanabe
Greddy
are just some of the few

Ive been in AP1's and AP2's that have some of the ones i have listed and the ride result vary. It all depends on what your shooting for, Track, Drag, etcc.... Just make sure you research them all well and make your choice from there.
