Full Coilover's

OK- I have finally broke down and decided I want to look into suspension. I want to get full coilovers. Under $1000. I have heard bad things about hayame. I want some that will ride nice. I do not run track or auto x or anything like that. So what are some brands that you would recomend? Also is there a DIY for installation. Is it easy or should I pay someone. I have plenty of tools and I am pretty mechanically inclined.

Once I get these on and lower it I know I need to get a camber kit. How do those work when you can lower and raise your car. Do you have to change the kit each time? Thanks for the help guys.

Teins are real nice...coilover allows you to lower/higher your car without taking out the spring(1-4")

Tein is a excellent coilover, perfect for the street and some occasional track time.

I'd say B&G S3. I got mine for $900 shipped from Street Level Performance. Just recently installed them over the weekend and let me tell you man, it rides nice.

ok, lets say I get these coilover and I get a camber kit. How hard is the camber kit to adjust? And do I have to adjust it each time I adjust the height of the coilovers?

camber kit's aren't hard to adjust....and yes you will have to adjust it each time depending on if you lower it more or something. You don't have to but it's good to.

Well to be honest man, if you're leaning between tein basic or B&G, get the B&G. I personally have no complaints about them. If your car is a 02, you'll need the 01 upper mounts for both of those coilovers. It's just better off that way cuz its a snug fit. Other than that, it's an easy install. Camber you could adjust on your own if you have a machine to read how bad your, camber, toe, and caster it. Just take it to a local wheel shop and they can do it for like $60 or sumtin.

so when they align it they will be able to adjust the camber with the aftermarket camber kit? does it come with everything I need to install (the coilovers that is)
