ehh....coilovers are over-rated. Most people dont know how to set them up. I do, but still, I'm willing to bet that I'd take down a lot of coil-over guys at the track. I have skunk2s. People will flame me, but they're good springs. Car handles great. Not to mention, i drive so well that i make michael schumacher look like a homosexual. I dunno, i heard a rumor that homosexuals couldnt drive very well, that's all.
Man nobody better say "dude, YOU'RE the homosexual"

Coilovers or stock !?!? Are you ppl serious ? You must all have deep pockets or you dont mind driving your car with a huge wheelwell gap.. I installed my S-tech's at 73k and now I have 107k miles. Still rides great and sits pretty nice. Could be a little lower but i'd be scrapin up that front lip if it was.

You're scared of scraping with S-techs?! You must live on streets with minefields, and potholes that were caused my minefields. My car's 2.25'' lower in the front with a lip and i'm never really worried about scrape-age. I take driveways and such on angles. lol but then again, i live in the kind of suburb where people drive their Denalis to plow (im not joking). Houses here have 3 story houses inside of them, so i must admit that the road quality is on the up and up since rich people have sensitive asses.

It's not bad i just hate hearing the sound of my ap2 lip sliding across concrete. Usually happens when i dont think a driveway or entrance is too steep and i go at it straight.

the thing with springs are
1. the strut isnt valved for the "spring" of choice
2. losing out on th elife of your strut
3. you are limiting the rim/tires you can run due to not having adjustability.

That why i noted how many miles my car had when i installed compared to now. They still ride great! Not to mention that the car has a great balance runnin azenis 225/40 rear and 215/45 front. It oversteers at the limit and is pretty managable. I like the spring rates way better than the stock 00 spring rates

In all honesty, my ZEAL b6's feel stiffer than my 10/12 flex did. I have 8k all the way around now.

You have a Spoon Hardtop and your worried about 2k for coilovers?
And in all honesty, you wont scrape with a lip and a 2'' drop if you know how to drive.

no sht sherlock. I said that above: Usually happens when i dont think a driveway or entrance is too steep and i go at it straight.
And my coilovers wouldn't cost 2k. I'd either go with showa adjustables or ohlins if i was going to invest in suspension. The HT's a neccesity given that this car has had the seats stolen twice.
