Ok I know the suspension threads have ALL been beaten to death and i can assure you, i have read many. The problem is that everytime i read one a wiseman chimes in and writes 3 paragraphs of technical jibborish LOL. I Just want simple suggestions with a short pros/cons list , not to sound pushy or anything. Im on an overall $4000 budget (for the whole car). Im setting aside 1000 for paint and body, and as much as possible for the motor cause im tired of all of the f-bodys around here thinking theyre god. So my suspension budget is around 800 or below. Im not a huge suspension junkie or anything but louisiana roads are far too bad to just throw some lowering springs on my car. I really just want to eliminate as much wheel gap as possible while still retaining a smooth and slightly better than stock level of handling. Tokico blues and megan springs seem decent for what i want and theyre fairly cheap but i want to hear everyone elses opinions and the pros and cons of their setups. The only thing i ask is please dont suggest any 1000+ dollar coilovers. Thanks for your time.

Also This setup is for my 95 gsx, not my n/t. I just painted my wheels black with a red lip yesterday and theyre going on my red gsx so i have to eliminate the wheel gap or itll look stupid LOL.
 
I would say to go with Tokico Illuminas and a spring of your choice, or just get the shock/spring combo. I think you will be much happier with the adjustability of the Illuminas over the HPs.

I agree with the Tokico Illuminas! I also like the Eibach springs with the Tokicos
