Or these? I am sure you can't go wrong either way. EIbach and Bilstein are industry giants.

I'd love to hear some pros and cons and thoughts on either one.

Both links were blank so could not tell. I have NM's on mine but also HR's are great too. NM is 1.2" drop and HR's are 1.5 . I would go with Koni Yellows or t he street version for shocks/struts. You will also need adjustable camber arms for the rear. I went with Helix. Also rear sway at some point. Here's mine with the NM 1.2 springs. Name:  20140606_074831.jpg
