get tein or tien coilovers. I forgot how to spell them. 1100 bucks and some rims. The coilovers are adjustable so your 18' will definetly fit, unlike springs.

Go with some 18 inch wheels and either lowering springs w/ Konis or Tein coilovers... Unless you plan on doing a lot of Autocross or Open Track don't bother with the Teins. That would be overkill. The Konis are GREAT. I run with those. Anyhow. Screw the bags. Stupid novelty crap.

Just my opinion.

Take a look at my ride in members rides if you want to see how a Neuspeed Sport drop looks with 18" wheels and a perfect alignment (no rubbing by the way) I also have Konis.

overkill .. pshh.. look at it this way .. u get a better ride comfort and ride height .. for the almost the same price as the springs and the konis... the konis itself is like 555 .... and u get the springs or coilovers .. which is gonna cost u at least 200 bones .. thats 755 .. then plus shipping .. ! the tein ss right now is on sale at tornactive .. i remember him selling it for 999 .. groupbuy price .. but if the groupbuy is over ..he'll prolly still hook u up.. just call him up ..

p.s. .. u have to go through all the trouble gutting u'r old shocks out .. for the konis

waz up man! I live in miami too and I've been rolling on a 96 Camry with strutbags (which I currently have for SALE). Anyways I've heard NOTHING but good things from east coast mayhem and I think Powder does a great job on everything. I'm planning to take my new 2K3 coupe (which i dont have yet ) over there to get the work done. I already have the valves, tank, switches, and compressor from the previous setup on the Camry [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]. All I'd have to get is the cylinders and strutbags. I know one guy thats been rolling on a silver coupe that had airbags, and he says that it rides "uuffff, BETTER than stock"- even when the tires r up to the fender. Anyways, I'd recommend you doing the bags AND THEN getting some rims (which is what I plan to do because the 2K3 comes with 15" SI wheels ). I CAN'T WAIT!!!

GET EM! GET BAGGED!!!! BAGS= . Everybody has rims, and that's good and everything. But bags are JUST starting to get popular in the import scene. Just get em now so people wont think u r jumping on the bandwagon !! Look, I've had bags on my Camry and it was really cool to be able to play around with em and break necks left n right...cuz u dont see it as often (especially on a Camry!). It will give u a great ride and make whatever wheels/hubs you got now look even bigger with the drop. You wont get bored of them, trust me!! The only reason I tool mines off is cuz ima sell the car . Just bag it! And even if you DO bag it, you'll still have about 800 beans to spend on rims!! 7thgen member "Keffin" [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG] told me you can do the kit installed for roughly $1700. I think you have more than enough money to get any decent rim you want.

What's the point of buying new struts and stuff if you're going to bag it later on?

Just bag it now and get it over with
