Ive been searching the forums for a little while now and come up with the springs I want. The problem is, I am not sure what to do about the shocks. I think from what I have read that KYB is the only choice we have unless we go coilover correct? My car is a little bouncy right now and it handles..well..like a really big car. I need a little bit better handling for the corners, I am thinking of going with the Eibach pro kit. Im not really looking for a big drop, I just really want better handling and not alot of ride comfort loss. I am going to be on the stock 16's until probably next year. Let me know what ya'll think.

KYB is the only shocks option that we have now. I just ordered a set of KYB and tanabe springs. Originally I want eibach but alot of people on here happy with tanabe springs so I change to tanabe. Tanabe springs only increase 10-15% over stock spring rates so the ride will be very similar to stock (and people on here can attest to that). I don't know the spring rate for eibach so I can't compare. If there are members that had both to give their opinion would be great.
I noted that you are in Texas. If you are in DFW area then I can give you a ride on my combo (after I get it installed ofcourse).

Yeah, I have heard the Tanabes are good. Im looking for more handling than anything. If I have to loose a little ride quailty to get it, its no big deal.

Im in Houston, otherwise I would take you up on your offer.

I've decided to go with the Tanabe springs as well, and imagine that, I'm in Texas as well...lol. I don't know if I'll replace the shocks right away though.

I still have my eibachs and kyb shocks available. The eibachs are less than 1.5 yrs old and the shocks are within 6 months.

I would do the shocks at the same time to so you only pay the labor cost once. Our car pretty much at 100K + miles so the stock shocks should be on it last leg already.

Check your PM Bryan.

I'm not worried about the labor...I do most of my own work. One thing that makes this adiction a little more affordable....lol
