Don't get the springs. Get a set of bilstien shocks and struts if you want to save some coin. If you have the cash get some konis, you won't be disappointed.

For springs go with BMW or Strano. I love my stranos

I agree that it is hard to beat the Bilstein shocks as far as price, value, and quality go. If you are planning on setting th car up primarily for handling/daily driving then they would definitely be the way I would go if I was on a budget.

Im one Bmr springs with slp/bilstein shocks and the difference from stock was night and day. Bilsteins ride perfect! Nice balance of performance/cost!

This is the exact setup I am going to run on my 98 T/A. This setup rides good, performs well, and won't break the bank for a car that is a daily driver.
