I'm sure this has been beathen to death, but i've allways been one to beat a dead horse just a little more.

Anywho, I can't decide, i like performance, but i like my money more.

First i thought i'd get the Tien Flex coilovers, but at $1560, they are no bargin, then i thught i'd get some Tein basics at a more reasonable $860 but not adjustable at all. But i also came across these KYB struts [http://www.modacar.com/product....html], more bargin freindly and with adjustments, but not really coilovers. I figured some lowering springs with those might be best, any opintions

I just bought a set of KYB AGX shocks(ajustable) and sportline springs. Haven't got em in the mail yet but I will let you know what I think. They have a set of GR-2's on ebay they are always around 180 with shipping plus they have the sportlines for around 200.

no they wont go bad fast...but they are just a stock replacement....If you get any spring worth while they will probably be un-derdampened (make your car more bouncy)

I dont know why people always say they aren't going to be adjusting them much once they on the car....thats not the point of adjustable suspension. Its not there so you can ride a different setting each day its there so that you can match the shock to the spring, and adjust the balance of the car.

The GR2 is not something to buy as an upgrade; my car came with them, and I couldn't even tell until I was underneath it...
