I've read couple threads here about eibach prokit and msp spring. So seems to be msp springs are much softer, but they don't give so good drop as eibach.
SO what would u suggest guys to go with eibach prokit or msp?
Msp just 0,75" all around
Eibach Prokit 1,2" front 1,8 " rear...
and one more question...
isn't good to use lowering springs with stock struts right? Sedans owners do u feel more rought ride? are they softer than tein-s? Will it rub the tires with eibach-prokit? cause when i drive with 3 people at the back it rubbing...i got 17" rims...may be u should push the fender in

I would go with the Eibachs. The MSP springs don't drop the front of the sedan as much as the back so the wheel gap looks weird on the front.

As for the springs rubbing, it depends on what offset your rims are. The stock struts will be OK for a little while with lowering springs, but they will wear faster and need to be replaced.

The Illuminas are 5-way damping adjustable and the HP ("Blues") are not. I'm not a MSP owner so correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Tokico HP's the stock struts for the MSP?

I think the HP's are what the MSP has........not 100% sure though. I have Tokico HP's and Tein springs that I still need to put on my car. From what I am told with that set-up, the ride will be a little bit more harsh but nothing major.

There isn't a huge price difference, but it is there. Locally, I can pick up a set of the HP's for around $600CA, with the illuminas going for $800CA and up. (all this is before gst of course) Check with Ken (Captain KRM P5); he'll get you a good price.

I'll be getting the illuminas shortly for the simple fact that I want to be able to adjust the dampening should it be too stiff for me on the default setting.
