they arent bad, my current setup are tokico illuminas on skunk2 coilovers and i have to say the tokicos are sweet. the hp's are just a lower model but im sure youll get a way better handling ride differnce from stock.

it kind of sounds like u cant go wrong though for $350 and a name brand suspension. im not looking for the best suspension either im looking to be able to turn corners like as sharp as say an rx8 or better. and my stock ek6 with no rear seats,sparetire, and i took my sub/amp/box out. so my car looks like its raised lol. will i need a camber kit if i lower my car about 1in-1.5in? thanks for the help.

that suspension is basically a stock replacement strut (same valving as stock) and a 1.5 inch drop in the springs, if you want adjustability that's not the setup you're looking for, and for a couple more hundred you can get full coilovers

im looking for a 1in to 1.5in drop and basicly stiffer and possibly smoother. im not looking to keep up with a wrx on turns im just looking for something that feels better than stock and i heard if i just get some coilover sleeves and drop my car as much as above that the springs will pretty much go in like 6-12months. is this true?but i just want my suspension to feel stiffer and smoother. not like sti/evo/wrx. more like a g35 or rx8

those shocks won't be stiffer, they're stock replacements

you cant use stock springs with any adjustable threaded sleeve.

and no, it wont be fine to use stock SHOCKS with GC.
