If youre on a budget just order 2 new rear shocks from RockAuto to fix your current situation. Teins get really low, and tend to blow out shocks fast.
Monroe and KYB are both excellent.

. You can definitely feel the road more with the teins than the s-techs, but I am not a big complainer when it comes to bumping around in the car 
.edit: guess I can take suspension out of my "future mod list" hhaha

I just finished the car yesterday and got it aligned, I like the height, not too low to hit "some" bumps but still has that "lowered" look . You can definitely feel the road more with the teins than the s-techs, but I am not a big complainer when it comes to bumping around in the car .

The cost totaled around $800. Depends on how much you can get the struts for. I got my KYB's for around ~350ish because my friend works at Advanced Auto and gets me 20% off. The bushing sets for the rear struts are around $20 each. I found the boot kits on Amazon for relatively cheap.
To replace the shocks/struts it would cost you around $500 dollars for everything needed.
Ball joints, tie rod ends, stabilizer bar bushings, rear sway bar endlinks will cost you around $200.

KYB struts $81 each
KYB shocks $74 each
Total $310 and no tax
I was thinking on getting those and the teins lowering springs too from ebay.
