Default Springs and Strut suggestion?

ok so i am going through my choices of suspension setups, and a few products has cought my attention
the Espiller Springs + Tokico Struts, combo seems like a pretty good bang for its buck but i woundering if anyone on the board has this setup and what do they like / dislike about the setup...
and also Eibach+KYB GR2?
My budget isnt the best so give me your opinions...

Thanks guys..

I have KYB GR2 w/ stock springs. I have to say I really DO NOT like the KYB shocks/struts. I've had nothing but problems with my rear suspension ever since they were installed. Loud ghetto clunking and popping noises. Have changed out my SwayBar bushings and EndLink; still sounds terrible and they don't ride good at all.

I'm looking at Coilover setups now. I would stay away from the KYBs, not heard of many folks here besides myself who run them on their SC's anyway.

I rock Tanabe NF's with tokico blues and the ride is almost like stock. It'll bring your car down about an inch all around. If your looking for an aggressive drop or your into spirited driving this setup is probably not for you. If your looking for a comfortable drive with a modest drop then this setup should be on your radar.
