Default Need help

sorry if this has been asked b4, but here it goes.

im getting new shocks, and i want to go ahead and get springs while im at it. ive done some research and i know the BEST is the Koni's. Single adjustable are better correct? i also read that if ur gonna drop ur car these shocks are best since other shocks will mess up quickly with a drop. correct?
well i want to get these Koni's but i dont know about spending 800 for shocks, then 240 for the hotchkis springs.

so my question is: are these slp blistein shocks ne good?

http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...1f996464d699a9

will they handle the drop ok?

also the hotchkis springs dont really do much for the appearance huh? should i do myself a favor and just get the eibach prokit?

thanks all!

You really need to do more research. The bilstien issue has been beat to death around here, and if you want to see what your car looks like with the springs on it look at the sticky up top.
