if money is an issue, i recomend some entry level non adjustable coilovers. i have the tein basics, which are height adjustable, and i absolutley love them. granted you dont have the dampening adjustability of some more expensive units, but the price was convincing enough to make my decision.

while money is an issue (im almost out of college), i dont want to sacrifice adjustability. Im looking for a stiff ride but because i drive many different tracks i need to set up my suspension for those tracks...thats why all the options on there are adjustable.

thanx for everyones input and i would like to hear how the Tein Super Streets go.

I would definitely get a full coilover. Alot of people love the new megan coilovers and the Enjuku cars seem to be doing well with them. I also like my Silkroad coilovers which were a few hundred more.

You ever driven on them? I own a set of KO GU's on my RS13, and I can easily say that they are WAY overpriced for how they perform. I'd take some cusco basic's over them. For 100-200 bucks more than the price of the GU's, one could have a set of Cusco Zero2's, which are on my HS13, and they are easily the best coilovers I've ridden on.
