Hello, if you have looked over our packages and can't decide which one is the right one for your car or you like parts out of several different kits i can custom tailor a package to your needs. We have our lowering springs on sale right now for $174.95 per set. As im sure you know your going to also need an adjustable panhard bar to correct body alignment. Give me a call and i will custom build you what ever style package you would like.

just a little advice on top of that though .. i would steer away from eibachs if you do a search on here about them you will find not many people like them.. they end up sagging after awhile ... they have a wicked good stance to some people but they are a very rough ride
The stranos are a good spring .. ask anyone that has them and the love them ... its always good to have a road racing champion designing springs with his name on them ... plus sam is a great guy and can help you with whatever
Personally I went with the BMR springs and I love them ... they feel great and Dennis helped me out with my order and was great and right now their price is hard to beat .. its hard to find used springs for their price let alone brand new in box ...
just my .02

The strano springs paired up with good shocks make the car feel like as if it were a "sport package" suspension from the factory, kind of like how the BMW's have that for most of their cars.

QA1 springs highest springrate is 325. Not much more than stock. I wouldn't consider those.
I only have experience with stock/stock, stock/koni, and strano/koni setups. It would be good to try out a koni/BMR and koni/LT1 Eibach combo someday, but I'd have to find someone with those combo's or get a set to try on my own. Having the experience with all springs would be interesting.
And that's the thing... I believe the best ride comfort can be had with Konis. Enough compression for almost any setup. Enough rebound adjustability for almost any aftermarket spring. It's the konis that make a huge difference. If you're concerned about the price difference in those few springs, then you probably won't like the price difference between Konis and the next step down in shocks.

now you said you were a college student on a budget ... if thats true you might want to wait on the koni's ... right now I think they are around $850 for a set of 4, and if you pair that up with the bmrs you are over a grand for suspension. I know I am a poor college student on a budget right now and thats way out of my budget range
