i'd recommand you get adjustable dampers from TEIN... their super street version is very awsome!!.. everything plus installation at a shop (if you don't do the work yourself) will only run you $1000 or maybe less.

the downside is cheap "coil overs" tend to be bouncy and give a crappy right

Re: lowering springs
I doubt the ride quality of lowering springs, so my question would be: Why the switch?

Well I just put some Tein S-Tech's yesterday and got a 1.2 front and rear drop and the they feel quite nicely actually. Um not too harsh at all and I can go over bumps just about as fast as before and not hit anything. |
