I've been reading through old posts for the last hour and a half, and can't find a definitive answer.

I want an agressive look, that won't ride terribly. I'm not gonna buy $900 coilovers, because I have a NT, and thats a waste of money. I basically want a nice agressive look, get rid of the wheel gap, especially up front, and be able to go around corners and not feel like the car is gonna flip. Basically better performance but still with as much of a comfortable ride as possible. Oh, and I'm running 18 inch Motegi's

The springs that it seem like I'm left with are, I'm not sure if I would need camber kits for any of these kits:

Eibach Sportline(1.6)
Tokico Blue package that has Tokico blues and Tokico Springs(1.5)
Tokico Illumina package that has illuminas and tokico springs(1.5) Would these be alot better than blues?
H&R Sports(1.7F 1.4R)
Goldline Springs (1.75inches)

Please only recommend from personal experience, and If you could recommend a shock to go with them that would be awesome.

Thanks!
 
I have Sprint (2") springs with some Tokico Illuminas that I put on last weekend. The ride is perfect for me, set on 4 or 5. (5 being softest)

It's not too rough like the Blues (I used to have some blues on a different car.. maybe ok for MD roads, but for California's potholes and concrete slab joints, they're horrible for the streets, so rough)

I got my springs for free, but I think Sprints are pretty inexpensive as far as springs go. The shocks I got from an ebay seller for $353 shipped (from S.D., so it'd be quick shipping for you). Put them in myself for free.
 
Did you need a camber kit? Are the sprint springs what you hve installed in your pics? What size are your rims?

Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming.

Yeah, those are the sprints. My rims are 18x7.5. I did put the do it yourself camber kit from vfaq on the back, but none on the front. The camber isn't perfect, but it's not too bad for a 2" drop.

I'm thinking of getting a real camber kit for the whole car, but it'll have to wait till after Xmas since I have too many presents to buy.
 
Has anyone had experience with the NEX coilovers? They are like 520 on ebay and look nice. I found one old post on them but only one person had them at the time.
