alot of people will say search, and then it all depends on your driving style/goals of ur car. U want a fun DD or a Auto X'er?? either way, most will say front upper strut, and then some coilovers.. done and done...

Most people are stupid...
First question = what is the purpose?
If the purpose is daily driver, then tokicos with some 1.5" lowering springs and some good tires.
If you want to autox or race, then konis with GCs.
If you want a plug and play system, then tein basic or SS.

tokico blues and some eibach prokits are good. they are alot smother ride than the prokits, although prokits are alot lower.
or you can get teins S tech and blues. they're good too.

Well my budget ain't really have a limit BUT remember tho Im not lookin to race and speed around the city. I jus want a more comfortable ride.
I been hear mixed reviews about the S Tech and a lot of saggin but I guess it depends on the ride itself cause a few people don't get the sag but plenty do.

im on tokico's and sportlines. although the ride comfort is nice, i wouldve liked some stiffer springs. but i wouldnt suggest not to get them. maybe some antil roll bars will solve my problem

Do the majority of people really recommend coilovers? Adjustable coils? I heard that they aren't as reliable as fixed springs... Anyone ever had a bad experience with adjustable? I'm in the same boat as the thread author.

I jus wanna make sure when I upgrade the suspensions I dun have 2 go back to the drawing board. I wanna make sure all is just right but I know in reality I will run into some bumpy roads in the short or long run.
