I bought my Bilstein B8s from RockAuto.com, and they're cheaper compare to that eBay seller, but you'd have to pay for shipping. Ironically, I bought the Tein's lowering springs from eBay, for only $120.

Just wanted to update everyone on this thread: I completed the install and all parts listed in the original post bolted right up without a problem (NOTE: I went with Megan Racing springs, not Tein). Suspension components are indeed the same from Gen 2 to Gen 3. I’ll create a thread and post photos another day. Thanks for your help!

Can't wait to see the pics. I haven't had the chance to do it, but I'll be trimming the bump stop by half an inch. I felt a slight bottom out when I hit a bump going 70MPH.

Does anyone know the spring rates for the Megan Racing springs?

According to the Tein website, the S.Tech springs that I have are 3 kgf/mm on the front and 3.5 kgf/mm on the rear.

Just to put it out for everyone without having to click at the links provided, the Tein S.Tech are 170lbs/in in the front and 200lbs/in in the rear, while the Megan Racing Springs are 126lbs/in and 140lbs/in respectively.
