I like my KYB AGX's, got them for adjustability, keep them on the softer side. I paid about $375 on ebay. And like I always say, if you use ebay, use bing.com. Their cashback program is nice when buying more expensive stuff on ebay.

Jay-

With Stechs I'd say go blues, cheap yet still are good shocks. Blues can only take a drop up to 2", and Stechs are just under that at 1.7" up front. I'd say the other shocks you mentioned would be unnecesary. The other shocks would be if you are slamming a car or if you need the adjustability for racing. I am buying the Skunk2 shocks to go with my Skunk2 springs, they springs are a 2.5" drop. Skunk2 shocks take 2.5" drops no problem and are meant for big drops, but don't break the bank. Tokico Hp's (blues) can be had for just under $300.

I can't save up a G in that short of a time frame. By mid June, my trust fund will be relinquished to me and I'll be able to put some of that into the car. I just wanted some tips on suspension, granted that it may be replaced in 6 months. Who knows, maybe I'll end up keeping whatever set up I choose LOL. I just don't want to drop a lot of cash on a set up that will more or less be replaced. The good suspension runs like 5-6 hundred bucks not including the springs =( I don't know...I just want to have good joints on my car.
