    What springs/struts for a BH/BE?

    Who is running what out there for BE/BH's with regards to springs and struts? I am looking for opinions and experiences to help me make my decision on how to suspend my wagon. I would prefer not to drop it, or at the very least not much of a drop (1.5/1.3" seems to be common), but I am looking for high spring rates and/or more progressive springs. Price is also a concern as I want to get as much for my car before my wife goes on maternity leave and our income goes in the crapper.

    Simple: KYB GR2's. Cause they're the only that makes anything new for our cars

    Now if you want some factory JDM bilsteins, or anything from Japan, that's going to cost you...
