Re: Help a noob lower his car!
yeah, I've heard a few tales of Teins sagging, but most of those instances were caused by not having the proper shocks installed or the wrong adjustments. I've heard plenty more complaints about the H-techs sagging than S-techs and it only seems to be a problem in the rear, more commonly on 6th gens or 7th gen sedans.
And, about that first link i had, those will not fit a 2003-05. That's why the price is so low. I've tried emailing the seller asking if they have compatible shocks, but they haven't responded after 3 days (that's not a good sign for me as a buyer). The next links I posted actually are the cheapest combo I can find, shipping included.

The rears would be the same on both years, but the fronts are different. I'd rather not have to do any modification either. On the 03-05, even the fronts are differenct from left and right. Haha, this is confusing stuff.

Re: Help a noob lower his car!
I already gave up searching for coilovers. I'm not looking to spend all that much for something I won't use to its full potential. Coilovers would be more deemed for a track day car than a daily driver in my opinion.
I got a reply, albeit an obviously computerized and unintelligible sounding message, back from the Ebay seller who had the combo set and they do not have the proper shocks for an 03-05 even though their listing claims that it will fit. Therefore I'll be going with 2 separate purchases. Maybe by the end of April when the rims go on.
