I know i need some KYB GR-2's, where can i get those? Also what springs should i go with. GC Coilovers, Eibach sportlines, Intrax, or suspension techniques? i want the car to be as low as possible for the look with my 18's, but i don't want the scrubbing i am haveing to persist.

you don't need KYB GR-2's. You need some koni yellows or JIC's or Tanabe's. The GR-2 are OEM spec shocks. In 2 years or so you'll have the same ****ty ride you have now. Whats your budget?

i've already had the kyb's on for about 1yr 9months, NO problems...unless youve got like 600 to buy and install the koni's..the kyb's are the way to go.
to get them, i'd say probably www.tirerack.com.
you may wanna check your boots also before you order the struts, they may need replacing as well..
as far as the springs,...it kinda depends on what your looking for,....the eibach prokit is only 1"drop, which dont do much, its more for handling improvment i'd say. the sportlines are a 1.5" which settle in over time, and take up the wheelgap nicely..the ride is nice and tight, which i really like. i think the intrax are a bit more 1.7or8 i *think* (guys help me out here! lol) tiens seem to have a very stock feel with a 1.5", again i *think* thats what it is, im sure someone will correct me if im wrong...
if you want adjustability, i'd say get the G/C's...unless you can afford a set of the jic's or somthin.. wink.gif
i'd say look through some meber profiles, see what they have..how it looks..and go from there.. biggrin.gif
hope that helps some!
