I notice you use ************* in all your titles and now is a good time to mention that the admins and mods don't wanna have to go behind you and edit it out all the time so pleeeeeeeease don't, it makes our forum list look cluttered.

What is considered as the 'best' suspension set up really depends on what you're looking for after the suspension mods... some people just want a drop and don't mind about handling, but for me I want my car to handle regardless of how taught the ride is. So in my example, instead of going just for springs and shocks, I've fitted Kei-Office coilovers for good handling (razor sharp response, but VERY stiff), and I'm planning on fitting the full Vlamos bushing kit for a smoother ride (plus my bushes need replacing pretty soon) and I may also fit a new set of sports swaybars.

I have the tokico illumina's,.. .like the look, kinda bouncy sometimes, not too bad on the comfort side,.. HOWEVER my gripe was with the uneven sag from one side to the other, but I am under the impression, all aftermarket springs are going to do this, so be forewarned.

Just save up for coilovers. They come with lifetime shocks so the ride will be ten times smoother than the best of your above options, plus the height and dampening is fully adjustable.
