Spring/Strut combo. (opinions needed)

I am getting ready to drop my car and put some struts on it. I am looking at Suspension Tech lowering springs that lower it 1.80" all around. I am wonering if these are any good. If not then Eibach 1.7-1.6 would be better?
And I am looking at buying some color of Koni shock for them. I dont want to go below 2" because of camber reasons.
Basically what I am asking for is what everyone else has found to be good and worth the money. I dont want coilovers because the sleeves on them would only make it one winter here.

Re: Spring/Strut combo. (opinions needed)

I would stay away from ST springs, they have decent sway bars. I would recommend the Eibach Pro-kit, H&R sport, or Neuspeed sports. All Koni shocks are good, I prefer adjustables.

Since you have neither shocks or springs, check out some matched packages like H&R's cup kit or other quality set-ups.

There is a reason why ST springs are cheap & Eibach is expensive, actually many - quality, R&D, type of material, etc. You will be much happier if you spend the extra money.

Sorry, but I have no knowledge about those that you are talking about. I am using Intrax 1.75 drop springs (I bought for $50 used) and KYB AGX struts. I like them.

Re: Spring/Strut combo. (opinions needed)

if you're looking for a mild drop to get rid of the gap i suggest H&R OE springs and Koni yellows. Just lower the perch on the Konis all the way down and you'll have a nice drop that rides really smooth

My Eibach Pro-kit & KYB AGX's are sweet - no complaints. Sportlines are OK, most likely you will need a camber kit.

I used the Eibach pro-kits, KYB AGX 's on my infiniti, and loved it. My civic now has H&R Stage 3 spring, and KYB AGX's and again, I love that combo too.
