Cheap and good? Those two words don't go together when you're talking about car parts.
Maybe cheap and DECENT is a better term you're looking for.

^ Prepare to spend $200-220 for Eibach and $80-90 a pop per strut.
Plus if you're not too keen on putting it on yourself, spend about $150-$200 for install...
About $800 on everything... is that a bit high?

i said 5 people cause if i load my car, it goes very low. i can only think of 2 of my friends who would be able to help, but i dont have a good enough jack.
It seems like he's having a problem where his car is getting too low, so why are you all suggesting for him to lower his car? I mean I can understand that you guys are suggesting a stiffer suspension so that it doesn't drop as much when it's loaded, but the drop in the suspension setup itself negates that effect. My guess is that the Eibach springs provide a drop, no? And how in the world would cutting his springs help his problem of having too low of a car?
My proposal: RAISE your car and pretend that it's an off road truck or something. One of my buddies jacked up his ride an extra 20" or so. Wah hahahahahaha Monster Camry!!!

You will need to rent tools inorder to do that. If you regularly have friends riding...You're in trouble and if you get a kit, it will scrape like hell.
