Koni/GC Combo...It will be a bit better than stock, lower your car, and now worries in terms of adjusting it to your liking.

BEST S2k suspension = TEIN RS.

affordable, stiff spring w/ stock shock. such as ground control or swift spring.

I just don't understand why some of you want these big expensive coilover kits. You will never track your car or anything. And don't argue this fact, because it is true.

for what purpose? For track use, its not the best. I would say properly set up Moton's are one of the best.

no point in me spending that much money to drive on the street.

the only reason im running the Zeals is because i was very unimpressed with the teins, so i needed an up grade in quality.

J's crux is over 4g's for the set, and Amuse is up there also in price. If im not mistaken though, i think the amuse is re valved and re labeled billsteins, but im not sure.

Nishant is right though, JRZ motons are supposed to be amazing.
