H&R Cup Kit vs Springs + Koni Sport Dampers
I'm trying to decide between 1) the cup kit and 2)springs (eibach or h&r) with koni sport dampers. Your experiences with these products would be appreciated.
P.S. There's no way I'm getting Tein coilovers, and good coilovers are more than I will spend. I will send a free prize to the first post that says "just get tein basic coilovers."
thank you guys

Not just a price thing....
First of all, Blake won a free frosty from Wendy's. Give me your address!
Secondly, the TEIN products I had experience with were kind of k-mart. Maybe they make a good setup for the w203, but I'm not willing to try. They sure do come in a fancy color though!

plenty of W203 owners here have TEINs....IMO, the ability to adjust the height is awesome....with springs, you cant do that

I've had two sets of W203 (sedan and coupe) TEIN coilovers now and have nothing but great things to say about them.

I have my Koni sport shocks all around available to anyone who wants them. $400 for all 4 corners (cheapest price all-around) and used less than a year, likely less than 10K with a 3mile commute one-way to work =p.

I have Koni's & Eibachs on my '04 kompressor sedan and am very happy with them. I have the rear shocks set as they are outta the box and the fronts are 1/2-1 turn tighter. Very easy to adjust the fronts. I dont think you'd want to tighten up the backs cause the ride would be too bouncy/choppy

i have koni and h&r's, and they are sweet. i love my stance all around (the front seemed to have settled down a little, even for used springs), and it's still comfortable. it's just crappy roads like the 10 that start to make my ride crappy. but on the 5 it's just smooth sailing! 
.I've got H & R springs on my sedan with stock shocks.I like the way the car sits,but will be getting coilovers (most likely KW2's)if I keep my car.
