Your cheapest option is the H&R coilovers or you can just put the stock springs back on.
After some asking around I found out if I purchase the Bilstein HDs which will cost $650 for the set, I can send them to Bilstein to re-valve the shocks according to the Eibach's spring rate. The problem is I was quoted $280 by Bilstein for the re-valve job.

Now I am thinking if it's worth the $930 to get this setup done, more importantly, will I be happy in the end?
