Question Is this suspension worth the $$?

http://solar.innercite.com/comptech/130200dc.html

A bit pricey, but is it worth it? I want to upgrade my suspension and don't want to get something cheap that will be uncomfortable and bounce.... But do i really need to spend this much???

Depends what you want out of the suspension.
Street - strip - track
Check www.tirerack.com & see what they have for you car. I think any type of adjustable coil-over is a waste for the street.

How much of a drop & do you want?

I'm not all that concerned with the amount of drop I get, I just want to make my car handle better.

Why do you say adjustable coil overs are a waste for the street?

the reason they are a waste for the street only is because you aren't going to use them to their full potential. coilovers are adjustable, because of that they are more expensive than lowering springs. and you do care about the drop...lower center of gravity = better handling. if u really are worried about bottoming out and having to take speed bumps sideways then get: ControlArms/Bushings/Struts/strut tower bars/lower tie bar/subframe connector/y-rated sitcky tires/sway bar etc etc...

Get the Tein Flex or the Type RA and with the EDFC you can controll your damper from within the cockpit... Its definatly the best you can get
