Anyway, I want to lower my car and at the same time, get a stiffer ride. Less body roll etc. A friend told me to get coilovers. I've looked into them and I don't want to spend 1k on springs for a car I'm never going to hit a 90 degree turn at 80mph with. I've read a ton of posts in this forum and they all say not to get the cheap sleeve ones, to get the $1k full spring set ones. Well I don't want to spend 1000.
I was planning on getting the weapon-r pro circuit coilovers for $199. Right around 200 is the most I want to spend. I read some reviews on weapon r's and they said they were bouncy as hell. It seems that all sleeved coilovers are bouncy as hell. What is this bounce? like I go over a bump and hit my head on the roof like im on a school bus bounce?
Bottom line: I don't mind that the ride is stiff. I don't want bus-bounce. I want to keep it at $200 and I want to lower the car. Are coilovers the choice for me? If so, which ones?

What's up acunat ....
I can't give you any advice on coil overs based on experience because I'm in the market to move into coil overs myself. Currently I have Tokico Shocks with Neuspeed sport spring...
From what I've been told so far...you don't really want to skimp out on the quality when it comes to coilovers...I mean think about it...this is the thing that is going to keep your car off of the road when you go over bumps on the highway/street/what ever...
I say be patient and save up some more cash...keep doing the research as will I and once I get some solid advice...I'll pass it on here on AF so we all can benefit...
Just remeber...you get what you pay for and nothing is free/cheap!
