The Bilstein is a good basic set-up and I have about 22K miles on mine. Ride is good and the performance is good as well. For those who simply want a lowered stance and slightly improved handling, it is a modest $800 to put into the car.
The Teins with the EDFC is the better of the ways to go IMO. So much more you can achieve with them that after about 8K on the Eibach/Bilstein, I had made my decision. That's throwing $$ away when it could have been done right the first time. (At least to my desires.)
$1,200 for the CS's, $350 for the EDFC and figure ~$500 for the install and wiring. It's some $$ but I have yet to hear anyone disliking this set-up for a spring/strut. Read all the posts in the GS suspension forum.
If you really want it to be low, AirRunner.
It's your car so you have to make the decision which suits you.
