my next mod is going to be some springs, i want between 1 and 1 1/2 drop naturally the eibachs and TRDs came to mind, any one have any experience or comments on either? im getting them installed by a guy i know for free so the install isnt a big deal...
any comments on which struts or shocks i should get with this setup?

300 or installation seems HIGH to me i would think around 150.

that figure is for all four. the rear shocks need to be cut to accept the Koni catridge and then welded back shut. most of the estimates I have seen have been in the 200-300 range, unless you take out the shocks yourself and just take the rear shocks in for cutting and welding. probably be only 100-150 then.
