I am thinking about going with bilstein shocks. I have eibach springs does anyone know if this is a good combo. And where is the best price you have seen it for and at how much??

IMO opinion, that is not going to be a good combo. You are basically combining a soft spring with a firm shock; they do not match. I would recommend you go with the Koni Adjustables over the Bilstein Sports.

how much would a set of koni's be?? i saw bilstein's for around $96 a shock and koni's for $100 a shock on tirerack. is that about right? i believe koni's make a red shock and a yellow shock. which one am i suppose to use?

H&R goes with Bilstien the best. Eibach and Konis go well together as well. If i were you, id just sacrifice the money and get the cup kit from H&R.

When I went to the H&R website, they also recommend the alignment kit because the cup kit causes some big negative numbers on the wheels. Is that right?

Thanks

Here are the best prices I found, but I didn't look too hard.

Bilstein = $346
Koni = $397 (free shipping)

both at PURE motorsport

Here I finished my H&R + Bilstein (HD) with HK$5000 (parts + installation) (around USD641)
