Depending on what you want out of it, you might look at the h&r cup kit. I put
this on my car a coule of months back now and have been really happy with it. It
is a matched set of springs and struts fro H&R. The quality of travel is much
better than the neuspeed/biltstein combo I had and not nearly as stiff as the
Shine setup I had. It is pretty progressive but very smooth. The handling isnt
quite as crisp as the shine was but my teeth arent coming out either. One
downside is it lowers the front about 2" so if you have an euro lip, you'll end
up being quite low. I am very happy with it.
You can get it from the Potterman for $550
