Suspension setup for under $400 - ASAP!

Hi, I'm a newbie when it comes to suspensions. I have a 96' Integra GS-R Turbo, but right now I'm very low on money and I need to get a suspension setup (shocks and springs). I want to drop my car about 1.5" and I want the shocks to be kinda stiffbut not stiff enough, because it's a daily driver. So probably adjustable shocks would be better. I want decent quality but I can't pay much so something for under $400 altogether would be great! Please provide links to shops/stores where I can get a decent setup! Thanks in advance!

to be honest unless you know someone who can hook you up with a deal it's gonna be pretty hard to find a decent setup for under 400 dollars... adjustable struts are gonna run ya at the least 75 bucks each for a good set and lowering springs prolly around 200 or so... so right there you're looking at around 500... you definately won't be able to get coilovers on a 400 dollar budget... the only thing i can suggest is looking for group buys or ebay... try www.groupbuycenter.com they may have something.

Thanks to everyone for their help!
I just ordered KYB AGXs for $300 shipped and Eibach Pro-Kit for $195 shipped . I guess I had to go over my budget, but hopefully I got good, quality products, that I will not regret of buying later.

Last thing I need is to properly install them! Anyone in Illinois area up for help? =)

A few questions, since I'll installing the BFG gForce Drag Radials at the same time too.
So, should I put in the suspension, then drive for 500 miles with old tires, then put the new ones on and do the alignment? Or, should I install the new drags right after my suspension install?
Also, I hit my front tire on a curb in the winter and now my steering wheel is a little off to the right - does that involve the same kind of alignment that is done for the suspension or is it a different thing?


Thanks again!
The one and only, Sharky
