I've got Tein S-tech springs, and kyb AGX shocks. I've never been happier. O, and if you have any extra money, get the strut/tie bars - they make a big difference.

I dont like coil overs period ebay or not, buy a set of decent springs and some tokico or kyb's get the adjustable if you can swing it. I usally run suspension techneqes( holly ---- I cant spell) Cuz I get them cheep and I like the compition ones.

tein stechs make your car an inch lower than stock height. haha. its not even a nice drop but it rides nice. i would go with koni yellows and some ground control coil overs. if not. you can run a full body coilover from omnipower or the progress auto ones. the progress ones are great. my homie has some. u can get em for about 700 bucks

i've got s-tech's and tokico blues on my 91 hatch and i am quite impressed
for the price you cant beat them, it dropped the car ~1.25 front and rear
