you can always wait and get some COils like the Tein Basics which run for like 900 or so.. or search the marketplace for a set.. i have seen some go for 500 bucks..

if i was you .. i would get Coils.. simply because they have a better feel than springs and when you set the stiffness you can go lower and not worry about things hitting
So do you recommend going with coils over just springs? If so, then ill just pay a little more for the coils. How is the ride quality on it?

Why choose Tein basics when new BC racing coils can be had for $950 and they have dampening adjustability. Mono tube design as well.

Theres a set of basic for sale now for $650. I want these but they don't have the adjustability.

your right..

well the basics have adjustabilty you just cant slam the car..

as far as ride quality i think is a bit stiffer than stock..

my girl actually likes my HKS and i feel they are stiffer than the Tein Basics

Yea they do good work! They give decent prices (even though they've tried to get pricey on me sometimes) but you'll be satisfied.
Cool, thats good to know. I would definately do business with them. Funny thing is I ran into this guy at work that wanted to lower his Toyota Solara so I gave him the card that Rick gave me and recommended the shop to him. I never even had anything done by them. lol

Yea but you can always adjust the stiffness on the HKS.

Thats the flaw on the basics. They don't let you adjust the stiffness. For that, I feel they are over priced.

5-10 bucks a wheel?? I deal w/ powdercoating frequently and from what I know I would be very hesitant to deal w/ a place that is offering prices that low. Nmohamed- No need for your coils if you're not planning on adjusting height and not going to track your car! Slap some NF210 on that badboy and call it a day. Damn Edgar this thread is going by quicker than a speeding bullet.
