i was looking for something i didnt know but i guess thats what i get for not saying what i as looking for.

so basicly i was looking for companies that make good ones i was looking at h&r and eibach was wondering if there were any others and if there was any one who has them and could commment on them.

i hate rob and his pimp gk.

he probably paid almost nothing for those parts.

anywho, eibach doesnt make coilovers. they make a spring and damper set, but it isnt adjustable, which is what a coilover is.

you gk guys have tein with electronic control. sweet indeed. ksport also makes coilovers for you, and there is a group buy at hp.com on them right now. i dont even know if h&r are available for the gks yet. also, the t&p from kspec.

if you own an rd, you have:

h&r
ksport
quest
t&p

as your available coilovers.

whatever you do, DO NOT buy the sleeve type you see on ebay. if you find coilovers for less than 500, then they are almost definately sleeve type, and should be avoided.
