A popular, less expensive than eibachs and intrax solution is to use cargo coils and cut a coil or 2 from them. You can't really do this with OE springs because there are no dead coils.
Seriously, though...a search will provide you with lots of pictures

Should i get the Cargo Coils from some where like NAPA or pepboys or should i search for something better than that?
My thoughts are that if you're going to do it then do it right. Personally I would save for the right part.
Well what are you looking to do?
You can get:
Moog Cargo Coils
Eibach
Intrax (used now)
Ground Control
K Sport
We do have a couple options: SHO Source

If you install lowering springs, you'll need new struts; Koni and Sensatracks are the only ones that work with lowering, and strut mounts as well; lowering springs do not work with OEM struts, KYB, Gabriel, etc. Lowering 2 inches will also require added harware to compensate for all the negative camber or you'll wear your tires quickly; The negative with lowering the fwd SHO is you will increase torque steeer and bump steer since the axles and steering rack are moved to an increased angle. Shimming the rack with thick washers helps but axles are a different story. If doing it for looks, save the money toward all that is needed, as it is not worth the effort if you don't get the right parts and make the right modifications.

I just recently switched to Intrax. I freaking love them. They feel great when daily driving, but do they stiffen up when you get into the twisties 
Sensatrac's are OE's. I have Sensatrac's on my atx and I still get a little pogo on the highway with the stock springs. People have been using them in combination with Eibachs but that doesn't mean they work well. I wouldn't recommend Sensatrac struts to be used with Eibachs unless they are the revalved Bondourant ones!shobote

Revalved Bondurant Sensatracks ? Sensatracks didn't come out until around 2001 IIRC, so if these are from the old SHO Bondurant cars, they would be revalved Monroe Matic's. Many have used Sensatracks with Eibach and they work great and with no pogo; your stock ATX springs must be worn.

I vote for coilovers. If I didn't already have the setup I have now, I'd be all over the K-sport setup from SHOsource.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. I just assummed they were Sensatracs.

i was under the impression that you could use eibachs with stock struts with minumal issues? i know that some have used them until they have ran down some tokicos~
