Default So, Which Kit is the best?

I want to lower my car as well as put new shocks on it. What I would like to know, which kit (shocks and springs) is the best for looks as well as improving handing and traction. I have heard not so good stuff about eibach, what about hotchkis or other brands? What are you guys using and what do you think the best is? I do not want to spend a FORTUNE! but I can spend a decent amount to see improvement.

I'm not into lowering but if you have a good budget, get Strano springs, Koni SAs, and Strano's sway bars. Different car, what you want, night and day. I know what a difference shocks and bars make on these cars and can only imagine how this setup would make our cars feel. No matter what springs you get, get the Koni shocks. What springs/bars/shocks do you have now?
