Search for specific info my .02 is that tein is probably the best coilover system but at around $1000 its expensive. I hav'nt upgraded my sus-pen-sion yet but I plan on going with either skunk2 or ground control coilovers and kyb agx shocks/struts. I would say go with springs if your on a tight budget, they run about 100-150(check ebay) for eibach/neuspeed/etc. Ground controls and skunk2s can be found for around 200 used and kyb agxs are 300per set on ebay brand new. I have heard of other brands like aragosta etc but they are expensive also.

Re: suspention (silver97prelude)
First decide what you want. i.e.
-Do you want your rear end to slide out so you can steer the damn thing and have fun.
-Do you want to have understeer?
-Do you have a neutral setup?

You dont have time to worry about your spelling??? You obviously didnt have time to get an education.

Re: suspention (chinhead1228)
yo, so he can't spell all that well, who gives a ****. This is a TECH forum as you all always bitch, not english class. Lay off. Not everyone is perfect.
Anyhow, do you want to be able to adjust the ride height or not? If you don't plan on adjusting how low or high it sits just get some springs. If you do want to adjust ride height, go with some coil overs. If you're planning on changing your shocks also, it might be a good idea just to get a good set of true-coil overs (Teins for example).

Re: suspention (rjr162)
The Koni/GC is as true of coilover at Tein. And I've already ask the guy some questions regarding what he wants to do with his suspension and he didn't respond he just bitched about his spelling and so did you.

Re: suspention (RAB)
yes, i know you were helping, but the others.
The GC/Tokico etc are a good coil over setup, but for the $ that adds up you could get <edit> close to the price of the <end edit> tein's. Granted the benefits will be close to identical with the same dampaning setup

Re: suspention (rjr162)
I don't know how Ground Control ride quality is like, but I could tell you that Skunk2 coilover ride pretty stiff. I would stick to lowering spring if your looking for a comfortable ride.
