I priced OEM springs a few years back when I decided to replace mine, but they were more expensive than the aftermarket springs. I don't remember the exact price, but it was roughly 15 or 20 dollars more per spring (this was back in 1997).

I thought you cannot use the racing beat strut tower brace for Street Prepared class since it braces against the firewall. As for me, I run eibachs and tokiko illuminas. I should have went coil over setup however.

I run Konis, but carparts.com claims to have Tokiko blues for $37 each.

i had the tokiko blues all around and tmc springs wich i believe is spec 7 requirements,also it had all new poly bushings and a sus techniques front and rear sway bars. it handled very nicely! not to firm,as far as the bounce factor,but very tight and precise cornering! good affordable setup wich is why they use it in spec 7.

Definately check out G-Force Engineering before you spend your money, they are about as good as it gets. If you are getting serious only

www.gforceengineering.net

They aren't cheap though.
