I'm getting ready to buy a new suspension, but don't want to make the purchase. I thinking I should just buy H&R sport springs 1.5front, 1.4rear for $199.95. Now I could get Bilstein shock absorbers and struts for $390/front, $199/rear. I don't really care for the brand, I'm looking for the best price between the top brands. Bilstein, Koni, Neuspeed, and Eibach are all the same but all I need to know is if I can get away with just buying springs and using stock shock & struts, or do I need to buy shocks, struts, all in a kit. Let me know what I have to do to get this suspension...thanx. I'll be getting the sway bar, too, prolly a neuspeed for $235.95

You will ruin stock shocks with a lowered suspension, your putting more pressure on a part not designed for that type of work, brand does make a difference too. Springs are better from neuspeed compared to eibachs. Bilsteins are the best shocks, konis or even tokicos are good for shocks too
