[CL9] Another suspension related question

Hey guys, i've been thinking about lowering my Euro for quite some time now. I've read many threads about lowering the euro and have come to the conclusion that a spring + shock combo will be right for my needs.
I'm definitely looking to get the Eibach Pro for the springs and am tossing up between the Koni's or Bilstein Shocks. I've read that Bilstein seems to be a better choice for the Euro however,

1. I looked at heeltoeauto.com and the Eibach + Koni is around $1100 USD shipped. (Roughly $1050 AUD).
edit: shox.com - $920 AUD shipped

2. I emailed eibach au and they said that their B12 Pro Kit (which i believe is the Eibach Pro springs + Bilstein Shocks?) is $1320AUD (not sure about shipping yet).

The fact that the B12 pro kit is supplied in Australia makes warranty issues much easier which makes me lean towards them but is the $300 difference worth it? and if anyone knows any places i could get these products cheaper, please let me know.

Also, is a camber kit necessary if i were to lower the car with the Eibachs?

Thanks.

you can get koni eibach combo from shox.com for 900 or so including shipping man. i see what you mean about warranty thats why i went with coilovers. In australia you can get bc coilovers cheaper then spring shock.

The reason i choose coilovers is i kept seeing pictures of positive rake which annoyed the hell out of me so i got coilovers so i could adjust it.

I just checked show.com the koni + eibach combo is $750ish but when i go into the shipping costs they use UPS and costs around $600 making it $1300+ all up. May i know how you got the $900 or so mark?
I first wanted to get coilovers, buddy club n+ to be exact but i kept reading about how it is illegal to have adjustable suspension/coilovers? I know cops probably wouldn't even be bothered to check what kind of suspension you have anyways but i guess i'd rather go the safe route and go for spring + shocks but thanks for the info.
How are the BC coilovers anyways?

Aren't the koni yellow shocks height adjustable?

Yeah, pretty sure they are which makes me lean towards those too D=. Anyone know where to get koni shocks from in Sydney and roughly how much they are? thanks.

600 for shipping? No chance man its more like 250

yeah, $600 is absurd but i cant get any other options. ill try emailing them and see if i can get a cheaper option.

edit: i emailed for a quote and dhl shipping is $239 so yeah all up around $900aud? Damn, that sounds so appealing haha.

See what i mean for 900 you get awesome shocks and awesome struts

man wheres this show.com thing.. cus im interested as well ! :D

It's actually shox.com :)

JDMyard has Form over function coilovers.

damn.. i gotta say that is pretty cheap for a full shock and spring combo .. 900 delivered..

not intentionally to steal the thread but is there any issues in getting shocks/springs from lhd countries? cus i realised they front left and front right shocks have different part numbers. any experiences? im concerned as in the left may be lower than the right etc etc
