I figured going with new OEM shocks and a set of cheap eibach springs would be a fair deal for now, but does anyone have experience with the bilstein shocks/springs? Any good? Worth it? Thanks

Here's a link to the kit. 600 some $

Bilsteins are a very popular choice for these cars. There are also the Koni STR.T pieces that are also a good alternative. You can do better but for the price point you've listed these are pretty much your choices. I'd stay away from the Eibachs; go with something from BMR or Strano. Whatever you do, don't go with the stock stuff-those things belong in the garbage...

 

contact sam strano.he knows everything about these cars suspensions.

 

Bilsteins aren't a bad entry shock and the price is decent seeing the shocks alone go for almost $450. I also ran Eibach's in the past and would also go with another brand spring.
