I just finished putting 19's on my 1st gen. I also did eibach spring, and KYB-GR2
shocks. The 19s made the ride harsher, but the eibachs/kyb made it ever so
slightly harsher, and looked MUCh better than the 4x4 look I had before. It
makes the car look stock.

my eibach/kyb GR-2 cost me a GRAND TOTAL of: $281.30

I got the KYBs off ebay for $186.30 shipped and the eibachs were $95 shipped.
It works, and it didn't cost much, and it looks great.

$95 bucks for Eibach springs seems awfull low? Are you sure they Eibach, were they used?
