Default Better dampers

Can anyone suggest a good company to get suspension from with quality vs. price in mind? I'm willing to spend $800 and there are soooooooo many companies to choose from.

TEIN is definitely good, if you are gonna lower it you will need to get a front and rear camber kit, i dont believe TIEN makes camber kits, so skunk2 would be the best bet..with the camber kit you'd be about $200 over budget...

As usual, the OP didn't give us an application. Is this going to be a street car or an autocross car or a road race/HPDE car or what? If it's a street car, you don't need to spend that much money to make a big difference in your daily commute.

If you aren't tracking it and don't need height adjustability I always recommend tokico illuminas and some H&R sport springs.

It's a mild drop, and you can still adjust the dampening to your preference. Plus the shocks have a lifetime warranty.

Tokicos + Ground controls (adjustable) or even non adjustable springs will do you great for the street. Gives you a sporty feel without losing too much ride comfort.
