Lots of posts and opinions on this one - but after all my research - I purchased the Tein Comfort Sports because i feel this is gonna give me the most daily comfort and the performance and look i want. Will let you know once they are installed, but i think i will be happy.

Don't blindly assume that changing springs and shocks will improve oem performance, as 90% comes from tires.

Published test [tirerack] show at best 1,2,2.5% improvement in slalom, skid pad etc from springs, shocks, and sway bars.

Q45, i agree. my g's stock sport suspension is nice enough for me in performance, it COULD be a lil bit stiffer, but i want coilovers for the ride height adjustability and look. i know i can get springs that give a big drop and then some nice adjustable tokico suspension, i just dont know. if i EVER wanted to raise/lower it then i would regret not getting coilovers. and the entire idea of coilovers and adjustable suspension is VERY appealing to me. I came from the lowered/bagged truck scene and i know i could bag it but i have experienced tons of problems in the past with it so ima do coilovers. thanks guys

you get what you pay for of course. lowering your car is goin to sacrifice some comfortability but then you get some good handling in the process.

yup, im wanting function and form, it is fully height adjustable, and it has damping adjustability. and i heard its a decent ride for a DD. and im SO used to a harsh ride. i came from a slammed 4x4 blazer. people dont slam 4x4s so it was harsh. so im not trippin over lil coilovers
