This is an opinion question man. What drop do you have if any?

I have the H&R Sport Springs with Tokico Blues and I love the way my car rides and handles. I havn't had anything else so thats why I have to go with the Blues. Good luck with your choice.

Stop playing games and opt for a full strut coil over system such as tien SS.

full coil overs are a waste unless you're going to be doing some hardcore driving that actually necessitates them....like autox, drifting, or road race.....for street driving and aesthetics....springs/shocks are fine.....and like 1/4 the price.

I've got a 2-3 inch drop in the front and a 3-4 in the rear.

Nuespeed race drop springs $160
Average set of struts $375-$500
Total: $535-$635

Tien basic dampeners $650-750 depending on what kind of deal you get.

I would much rather run on tien

My 2 cents.

I run Ground Control Coil overs and Kyb AGX shocks. I love these, shocks on hardest stiffness is very low.

Brother Runs Tokiko Illuminas and Tokiko springs..... Is set up isnt very low but rides nice and hanles excellent

I've got blues and Neuspeed race springs and my car rides perfect and i only paid 300 for the struts and springs, the struts were still in the box and the springs were on the kids car for 8 months. So if you want try to find something used, but new. Know what I mean?
