since your getting konis, why not just pay an extra $150 more and get coilovers?

thats basically everything you need to drop your car the 'right' way... however you really dont need the front camber kit, i guess its better safe then sorry tho, n besides it only $20 anyways... you dont really have to worry about your shocks blowing since your getting konis, just dont drive like an idiot. n i'm sure you wont so ya dont have to worry...

The best coilovers to get from my experience and from what people have said are Ground Control. Your car might ride smoother with springs though but you won't be able to adjust your height.

koni, coilover and rear camber kit.
groundcontrol, i heard of people haveing problems with them. i personally would go with skunk2s...

also you might want to look into true coilovers... they are both shock and coilover in one.. it would be better then a skunk2/koni setup cause it is tuned to work together.... you might even be able to find one for the similar price...
koni: 550-600
skunk2: 300
= ~900
true coilover range from around 800-1200... i know NEX's was 800 but they have a recall on those, the new version should be coming out soon i hear...

i actually heard more badd about gc then skunk2s.. as for b&g, they are supposed to be one of the best true coilovers(as they have self-adjusting dampers) but a couple of people on this board who bought them weren't too happy with them...

the H&R cup kit wouldnt really be considered a true coilover cause its not height adjustable. but ya those come with spring and shock instead of coilover and shock.
i guess if your going the koni+sleeved coilover route, i think it would be better to invest a lil more in a true coilover. but from spring + koni vs. true coilover, thats like a $400 difference so i guess you have to decide.
