It definitely looks good.

Id stick with the Tera,RE,RC,OME lines. Dont think you will find many people running the eibachs for lifts.
Eibach makes a great lowering spring though.

Don't go too cheap when it comes to suspension. Before you put on taller springs, you will need to get longer swaybar links and some longer shocks or shock extensions. It will be a bad day if you overextend a shock or flip the swaybar. You can re-use the rear swaybar link on the front and buy a longer one for the rear.

Ok guys i just want to clear everything up real quik, so if i run 2.5 inch springs front and rear with a 3/4 inch spacer in the front, will i NEED new sway bar links or track bars? Or can i get by with just springs and shocks? Ive read a lot of different threads on this stuff and i just want to clear it up.

Just a reminder i have a 4door unlimited x completly stock, and its just gonna be a street driver for now with minimal if any offroading.

I think you will be ok for a while with the springs and just a track arm bracket in the rear. then upgrade as money allows.
