I bought my tokico 1" drop and strut combo off of ebay, don't remember if it's the same seller or not, but the price is about the same as I paid. I'm very happy with it, it came with everything I needed in one box, even those big nuts that hold the cartridge in the strut housings. I didn't need to section them either. I'm really happy with the stance and ride of my car, too. here's a pic:

*edit* I just looked at the auction and saw this was for the adjustable struts, but mine are the NON-adjustables which should be cheaper...

Like the wheels.

 

I'd stay away from any kit that doesn't state the spring rates. Not knowing the rates hangs you out to dry when you want to go stiifer and don't know how stiff to go.

Was that picture taken in the parking lot of the Motel at SEZ?

I bought my combination of springs and Tokico blues from the same seller. The package was complete and shipped quickly but he will offer no support if you have a problem.

Be aware that the front springs are progressive and the rears linear. I found this out after installing them and then tried to get either Tokico or the seller to take them back with no luck so I still have them installed.

Some day I'll replace them with coilovers and get the spring rates I really want.

My car also ended up much lower than the 1" drop advertised but I also have the V8 and an R200 in the rear so maybe thats partly why.

 

Do a search on this topic and you're sure to come across the thread discussing my issue with this kit, I know the spring rates are mentioned in that thread but I can't remember them right now.
