I've got almost 90k on my 04 6mt sedan. I just put a stillen sway bar set on, which helped drastically, but I'm thinking it's about time to replace the springs and shocks. Since it's a 6mt it's already got the sport suspension. I'm not looking at dropping it...while it would be nice to lower it about 1-1.5", I'm not interested in the cost it would take to get it there (toe & camber adjustment kits). What I'm looking for is the least expensive option to retain the stock feel or just slightly firmer since it's driven 75-100 miles/day on crappy roads. Pricing it online per component for shocks and springs it's looking around $1100 for OEM parts. I'd like to think that I can spend a bit less and end up somewhere in the same ballpark. Ideas?

 

OEM springs and Tokico D-spec shocks.
