Re: coilovers/lowering springs

if you're looking for full coilovers, tein's are usually one of the first choices, they perform great for a great price (relatively)... if you're looking for a good strut/shock combo, just do a search, some of the main companies are koni, tokico, neuspeed

Coilovers are a snap to adjust once you've done it a few times. The hardest part usually is unlocking the 2 collars from eachother.

I have Tein SS coilovers with +2kg stiffer springs on them than normal. That's what I prefer, and what I'd recommend brand wise, Tein. You simply really can't beat the performance, and ride quality of true full coilovers.

For shocks I wouldn't get anything other than Koni (any are fine, but Yellows are best, and Reds if you don't need the dampening adjustment), KYB AGX, or Tokico Illuminas.

Best springs I hear of or have ridden on, are Neuspeed, Eibach, H&R, Tein S.Tech and Tanabe.
