Looks like I'm going with front HTS(adjustables) = $165 ea. + HP's on the rear( $44 ea. 
). Probably the most cost effective - yet quality set up I can do. Adjustables tend to last a bit longer then regular struts(by dialing down the rebound/compression) , thus I figure use the HTS on the front where there tends to be more wear - plus it will look cooler in the engine bay w/ the adjustable dials

definitely post up some pics. I am still not sure what I want to do. I want a nice smooth ride since most of driving is on the freeway to and from work. I do have the Eibach Pro Kit, and sway bar ready to go once I decide what shocks and struts to use.

Ordered the Tokico D-specs (HTS) from Shox.com today. Nowhere on the Tokico site can I find anything that says they do not carry the same lifetime warranty as anything else.

It also says in the FAQ's that all Tokico products sold for the street carry a lifetime warranty - only products strictly designed for competition don't. The D-specs say nowhere that they are designed strictly for competition, and in their description specifically say that they are ideal for street as well.
I should hopefully have them installed by the end of next week, will review then. Also installing Road Magnet springs at the same time.

Shox.com is in CA, I'm in PA - they'll be here on Friday (UPS ground). Hoping to have time to install the new suspension Friday night, then hitting up a pretty wicked back roads drive to a town about 100 miles away on Saturday morning.
