Default Suspension change in mind need suggestions.

Ok, After driving on my suspension for about 8 months i have now grown tired of it and would like something a little more aggressive and a lot nicer. I am looking to get a new set of coilovers. Here is my current setup

Koni yellow adjustable shocks
G/C coilovers with 425f 475r
Comptech rear sway/tie bar
Srr aluminum rear LCA
SI front 26 mm sway bar.
Neuspeed front strut bar.

The koni and GC setup rides great but i want to move on to some real coilovers and a little more aggressive setup. As of right now i am leaning toward the buddy club P1s with adjustable stroke or a set of Teins with the EDFC but i am open to any other suggestions. Price is really not an option. Anything under 2 grand is alright. Tein , ZEAL , Buddy club Let me know what you guys think and why, any kind of feedback is appreciated.

Get your Konis shortened and revalved and bump up your spring rates if you're not happy w/ 'em.

geez man, such hostility. I'm intending on driving school very soon but i want a nicer setup then what i have. It's like everything else on your car, eventually you get bored or you want a better setup. I would like a nicer setup and that is why i made this thread, not cause i want some bling bling coilovers for bragging rights, i just want some honest opinions for a setup that i won't be dissapointed with.

It's honestly pretty rediculous that you're gonna drop around $1500 on some Japanese coil-overs and you don't even have a good reason to do so.

I guess having your current set-up redone isn't as bling tho huh.

I vote for Zeal B6 Hard w/ pillowball uppermounts, then. They're length adjustable, spring adjustable, and stiff as anything you could ever want. They're shiny too, you'll like that.

Your are completely entitled to your opinion and in a way your right. I just feel that a sleeve style coilover and an adjustable shock can't compare to a true set of coilovers. But that is just me, i have never really liked how it just slides on to the shock, so i would like to change my setup.

Now, what makes you choose the Zeal B6/S6 over the buddy clubs? I would just like to hear your opinion on the pro's and con's of each. later
