Okay, these are my options.....

Eibach Sportline Springs $208
with
Koni sport Shocks $554.50 (for all 4)

or

Eibach Sportline Springs $208
with
Tokico shocks $235 (for all 4)

which should I get? I have heard very good things about Koni, and nothing really about Tokico. Thanks!

If you don't need the adjustability and just want something stable to ride on, the Tokicos are a very good bet.

I didn't know Tokico's are that cheap.

So as I understand it, the only difference between the Tokicos and the Konis is that the Konis are adjustable and the Tokicos are not--but EITHER should be okay for the 2" drop on the Sportlines, correct?

I'm assuming I will also need a camber adjustment kit...

BTW, the prices are all from Tire Rack.

IF you are looking for good handling and mostly good looks, then get the Tokicos. Much better value, and should be better than the stock shocks.

I doubt seriously that you will need a camber correction kit, the factory adjustment options should be more than adequate.

Great! Thanks for the info.

Although about the camber correction kit...there will be enough adjustment on a 2" drop (Eibach Sportline) from the factory? Tire Rack told me that I would need the camber correction kit...

It will be close, only one way to find out. A little negative camber isn't a bad thing, if you get to to -1 to -1.3 degrees in the rear you will be in spec.
