Protegegarage.com sells a Tokico strut/spring set for 499.99 .

I installed mine last month and it is a nice matched set. The ride is not harsh at all, but it handles great. I expected a much firmer ride. Great for a daily driver. Here is a pic of the ride height.

So the Tokico spring/strut kit is comfortable? How is it over speed bumps and harsh pavement?
 
its aiights just lil more stiff than stock.
its not bad.

not so sure bout the eibach and tokico, ask pro5x2
 
eibach/tokico setup is perfect i think, for daily driving

I also have a 12" ported box in the back.
