Drop Springs/Tokico Illuminas VS. Tein SS Suspension

[98TsiAWD]

What do you guys recommend I run?
Im guessing that a good set of drop springs/illuminas/camber kits would end up costing me around $850-950 bucks with shipping.

Tein SS would be far superior to them right? And I also heard that with the Tein SS you dont need camber kits? Is that true..
Where is the cheapest place to get Tein SS's?

Thanks

Get the SS but you may still need camber kits since the camber depends on how low YOU lower the car since it is a full coilover. Just FYI but the SS don't come with pillowball upper mounts something you might want to add. My friend has the Tein HA's on his 99 Si and they are SICK when on full stiff on like a 1.2-1.3" drop, its an Fing racecar and I'm not even joking. If the SS are anywhere near their performance then this is more than most people could seriously need on a street car IMO.

Dammit, I was hoping camber kits werent needed with the Tein SS. I really want the Tein Flex with the EDFC controller but thats too much $'s over the eibach spring/tokico struts cost.

I got quoted a price of $925 shipped on the Tein SS.
The Eibach sportline springs/tokico illumina strut combo I can get for $625 shipped.
so It would cost be 300 more bucks for Adjustable ride height and 16 dampening adjustments vs. the 5 adjustment on the tokico struts. I think I will hold off and save some $'s and get the Tein SS's
