I'm not really sure about the BEST place, but i purchased mine off a vender here "THMOTORSPORTS", great communication and he answered all the questions i had. Just remember that if your going to go low its going to open up a whole new list of things to buy. Either that or just roll cambered (:

Stance Gr+ full coilover (true coilovers) dont utilize the spring bucket, you actually get the whole strut, spring, exc in one. Unlike the OEM type rear, is when you use the spring bucket and the spring and strut are separated.

I went with true coils, i dont think THmotorsports sells the oem version anymore but dont quote me on that.

If you have any questions just look it up, there are many threads that can give you more insight then what i have to say.

Heres a thread that can help you (literally took 2 seconds to find)

BC's are great, not too rough from stock and can slam the car as well. I would have liked tanabe pro 5 if i had the mula.

im having a hard time to choose between the BC coilovers or the Stance coilovers, im leaning more towards the stances though. BC racing i can get for 1k shipped, the Stance for 1350$ shipped i believe it was. Do you guys think its worth the extra 350$ for the stance over the BC coils?
thanks, let me know what you guys think

The Pro 5s are roughly the same price as the Stance, I got mine for under $1200 and they ride incredibly smooth. I'm 3 clicks from soft (12 way adjustable) and the ride is better than stock. The only knock on them I can find is the amount of drop they offer as it won't let you slam your ride. The Tanabe Pro S-OC are more reasonably priced, allow a much bigger drop, but don't have dampening adjustability. I'm going to get my car where I want it by removing a spring collar from each corner, but I have to take the front coils apart to do that which is a pain, but worth it to me for the kick azz ride. I DD about 2000 miles a month so I made ride comfort my top priority over amount of drop, trackability, etc.

Keep looking for BC pricing. I was quoted $899 shipped about 6 months ago from a vendor here. You can do better than $1000 shipped if you decide to go with BCs.

Check B2autodesigns, they have quoted me the best price I've found on several parts I've looked at. Also Marinelli Motorsports has good deals with excellent customer service.
