I have heard nothing but negative things about TEIN on hondas... I hear people using them all the time, but from all of the people that i know who have tried them and are really into suspension, I hear no good things.

I had Eibach sportlines on my illuminas (if you are buying your struts from Rob/silverstreak, those were mine) and it rode very well and handled nicely. my current hatch is on koni yellows and skunk2 coilovers... definately has raised the bar for me as far as what to expect from a performance minded set up.
This post comes with a guarantee: I guarantee that I don't care what you think about it.

if you get the Eibach, look into the Spotrline series cuz the prokit drop suxs, i had them on my ride for less than a month! haha

but if you just want a lil drop the Prokit is the way to go, they ride quality is excellent

maybe you should look into adjustable shocks like Skunk2 or GC (my by Eibach).. they both can be used w/ those illumina.. just depends on how much your will to pay for shocks
