[QUOTE="pinecitygarage, post: 3818955, member: 79802"] depending on budget you might want to go for: 1. an adjustable oem strut like KYB AGX or any non-adj Gas Strut you can find like Excel-G, Paraut, match it up with any name brand lowering spring either from the U.S or Japan you can also get sleeve type coilovers fitted to the struts, stay away from the china made stuff 2. For Coilovers - if you can get the name brand stuff like tein, progress, JIC then go for it as you can really feel the compression/rebound adjustability on these brands, i suggest getting a softer rate spring in the range of 300/250 inch/lbs or 300/200 inch/lbs. for the Taiwan/China Made Coilovers - the damping adjustability for compression/rebound is not as noticeable plus the valving is not very specific for each vehicle make and model as settings where based on shock dyno results which they pretty much applied for a number of vehicles (kinda like a one size fits all) plus the Spring Rates are too high resulting in premature wear on the seals. if you do order - just get softer spring rates as valving on most of these brands will probably be only able to handle anywhere from 300 to 400 maximum inch/lbs Don't get me wrong, its quite alright to use the China/Taiwan Made Coilovers - you just get what you pay for. 3. If you plan on Fabricating your own Coilovers - i suggest doing a lot of Fabrication How-to Research on the web - Use Koni Yellows and Ground Control Sleeve type CO's with a proven Spring rate set that you can live with.
