You can wait around for some Epics or Eibachs to appear in the classifieds. It happens occasionally, though someone usually hits up the seller within 4-5 minutes so its hard to be first in line. I haven't tried Tein's, the H-techs on paper look very similar to the Eibachs/Epics, however I've had more than a few people tell me the H&R's are superior to them and that the H-techs tend to have a larger drop than advertised, thus not a big difference than the H&R's in drop.
I was looking at the H-Techs due to minimal drop and spring rates, but I started thinking, they must be $180 for a reason. I've got H&R's on a WRX and like them so I went with those. I don't know if this helps at all, but just some input
