You may try eBay or see if someone on the forum will sell you a used set. I doubt you will find a new set of coilvers for that cheap.

just to let you know, real coilovers are not going to be cheap. i got a set of tein ss's with the pillowball upper mounts and i got them for a good deal at $1250 shipped.. like ^ said, if you can find a set used, then thats the only way you'll find them cheap.

You guys do realize that every single type of suspension (air ride asside) you could ever put on this car would be considered a "coilover" right?

$600 for suspension of any kind is cutting it slim...

What are your priorities for this car? Daily driver? Compitition? what?

Once again, what are your priorities? are you preping for compitition? Daily driving? whats more important, Handling, ride quality or Looks? Ect ect ect...

the more you plan out your priorites the less likely you will be to spend a bunch of money on parts that you dont need.

Re: Getting fullcoilovers *tein, Ksport, etc * cheap? sites?

hey guys wut is the general feeling towards progress coilovers. My buddy has an EG and says progress is by far best bang for buck suspension stuff. Im thinkin about gettin a set cuz they're a decent price, and look like they wont sieze up too easily and they arent shitty like the omnis.

So your just spending money for the sake of spending money?

If thats it, then close your eyes and point, as any difference between suspensions at that level is inconsequential.

I'm guessing you're just looking for a daily driver oriented setup.
