I can't lie... the 2 people posting above me are right.

Koni Sports (Yellows) + Ground Control coilovers.

I agree with the rest above. But I'm going with stock springs since you can adjust the height perch on the Koni Yellows.

If you're looking for installation , call up my friends over at http://www.blacktrax.net . Ask for Natalie or Jei. They're right by Great Mall.

I would agree with you, but I honestly think the Konis might have too aggressive dampening for the stock spring rates. I have no experience with off the shelf Koni Yellows, as mine are spss3 valved... I know that my shocks didn't even like to play nicely with 450lb/in springs. I guess I am comparing apples to oranges here, as my shocks are race valved (sort of) but I have heard that even the stock Konis are a bit aggressive. I would like to see some more info on this.

seriously its not hard at all. me and a friend swapped out my springs/shocks and put in omni power coilovers and ITR rear sway in 1.5 hours. granted ive done it before and am pretty familiar with it but any person with a brain can do it. all you need 12mm, 14mm, and 17mm socket and 17mm wrench. beats paying for someone else to do it and plus youll be able to learn how your suspension works

difference is spring rate. the street version is 10k/8k while the sport version is 12k/10k. i just installed the sport version and it is stiff. alot stiffer then the tein s-tech springs i used to have. i dont mind the stiffness at all and its alot more enjoyable for me and i plan on doing auto-x/road course so it fit my application. if youre just daily driving i recommend the street version even 10k/8k is stiff enough for most. what are your plans for the car?

Search for reviews on suspension before you buy.
