koni's or illuminas.

Unless you REALLY need adjustable right height, a full coilover doesn't give you much advantage, the tein basics and even the tein SS some with hella soft springrates.

Omni's =

Koni's and illuminas will come with a lifetime warranty.

Koni Yellows usually go for ~$500 shipped.

Mate them with a name brand spring or ground control coilovers.

^^ it's all the same China garbage..stay with Koni and ground control proven over and over and over again..I got my Ksports and literally within 3 months they blew..Warranty is totally useless and they don't stand behind their product, got the BBB involved along with a family attorney to make them fix it. KSPORT Never again

No love for TEIN? They are pretty reliable, as I heard. Expensive for a reason.

If you want a dumped look with your koni's, go with H&R race, or neuspeed race. The neuspeeds have a tougher springrate. Both have firmer springrates than OTS gc's.

Most people don't need height adjustability.

That will make your cal look stupid, the front end will be higher than the back. Like you're doing a wheelie.

you want H&R sport, or H&R race/neuspeed Race.
