Welcome to the jet. Go with H&R springs. I am eventually gonna get them. I'll prolly go with Koni struts down the line.

well, figure it this way...

shocks + springs will probably run about the same that the cup kit would run anyways. depends on how long you want to wait. they haven't really set a release date in stone yet, so it could come out at any time. if you're looking for a quick setup, do what you have planned. get the eibachs, konis, and sways. should be a real dope setup.

or....

for a couple hundred more, just get the h&r coilovers from focussport. i was tlaking to randy on the phone the other day, and the h&rs are valved pretty much right on so that the use of sways really isn't all that necessary. the coilovers when set properly will give you a very stiff ride.

just my $.02.

The Koni yellows and Eibach Pro-Kit is pretty stiff too. It's great with a car full of people. But, the handling is so much better I find myself torn between putting the stock spings back on with the Konis to soften the ride.

The Konis are adjustable (easily adjustable in the front), just adjust them down some.

Unless of course you already have them on the zero setting, then you can't really get any softer with them.....
