Go with coilovers, even if you need brakes BBK aren't worth the extra $$ unless your building a show/track car. Pretty yes, but they don't work any better than OE brakes on the street!

Brakes are needing to be replaced soon though
And if I do the brakes might as well put on front spacers to

What would you do?

I got a set of TEIN Basis coilovers for sale $670 shipped only have about 8k on them

Gary, you make an excellent point. Tell you what though, I was on the 805 south and a dbag decided to slam on the brakes. I suddenly slammed on mine and missed hitting this dbags car, less than a foot. I have bbk's on, and without them I think that I would have gotten into an accident if I had the OE's on. I guess my point is that BBK's would help in emergency situation, but honestly would not see it very much on the streets unless you drive like a maniac...

Please don't take this the wrong way but I wouldn't recommend the Basics. With no dampening adjustment available, they defeat half of the benefits of coils IMHO. If you're happy with them, that's all that really matters, but I would never suggest them to someone looking for their first set of coils.

Thats a great price on the tein coilovers but no dampening support I ordered the MDU and got smaller tires to put up front to stretch
/
Did anyone do the camber kit the same time they did the drop or they did that later?

I replaced my rear pads this morning so im good for the moment
