The FKs are nice (I have them on my car now), the only bad thing is that FK North America shut down so any warranty issues will be shipped back and forth from Europe if the retailer wont cover it.
I think my struts are done though, I had about 2 years on my stock struts with the FK springs. I'm looking into replacing my suspension with the Eibach pro-kit, depending on the price of course.

Just make sure you do your homework before you buy!!
I think i read something that the 06 springs are different than the other years, so just make sure you don't get the wrong ones.....
Last i heard was that eibach only had pro-kit in production so far for the 06's

It'd be nice of the SHM/Multimatic suspension kit would work on an 06...it will lower the front 1.25", and the rear 1.75", giving it a nice flat stance. The kit, like the Eibach one, also includes matched dampners, swaybars, swaybar endlinks (for the rear one), and polyeurathane bushings. I Added MOOG HD endlinks to my front bar, they have grease fittings, and are guranteed for life.
I paid some nice coinage for my kit when I bought it, but last time I checked, it was on sale... take a look:

Both myself and Darkpuppet have this kit, and we have nothing bad to say about it...

For $1000 USD, thats not a bad price for the Sean Hyland Kit, considering you get springs, dampers, sway bars and bushings. That would tighten your car up real nice!
