JICs are probably your best bet from what i've heard. HKS are good too but you'll have a hard time finding them now that theyve been discontinued for our cars. You can also look into Tein SS, and Toms Advox Comfort if you can find them. The JICs cost about 2200, the toms are about 3600, the tein SS and HKS are both between 1500 and 1800

I've had my Tein SS for over 6 months now and have had no complaints yet. If money is no object then obviously there are better options but for a 3" drop or so and a reasonably comfy ride, the SS is a good option if you don't have a lot of dough.
