Just running the Eibach pro-line springs and I like them. Dropped enough to fill the gap but not bad enough for inverted tie rods and broken lips

I have Buddy Club N+. They're decent for DD, not too rough, but not that comfortable though. If you're looking for comfort and the ability to lower a lot, look into Progress. I'm still happy with the N+ though.

Same as this dude /\

ride is sweet, but issues with them. ***** in front are notorious for breaking and rusting, since they are located on the bottom of the damper. and if the boot cover rips they rust into one solid piece. So I do not recommend them for winter use.

Otherwise they are nice, did an autocross and an HPDE event and they handled nicely.

Eibach's Ground Control Coilovers.

They do the job just fine, my car isn't at all bouncy.

Yeah, My N+'s have held up to a ton of abuse from autox-ing and a few track days. But I haven't had any problems with rust of the ***** since I'm in the south.

im currently on the D2 suspension setup. you get what you pay for. its got the drop and adjustability....but nothing like the tein setup's i've had in my previous cars.

before this setup i had the eibach pro street coilovers on the car. they are due for a rebuild...very comfortable ride for as low as i was. (no gap all the way around). the only thing about this is was only ride adjustability. no dampening adjusting. still a nice street setup though.

I am running the K-Sport full coilovers..
i cannot complain ... i could go lower but i like the way it sits...
the dampening adjustability is nice.. i have mine set 1 1/2 turns from full soft .. rides great and still handles awesome.

i have the k-sports on my 02

- they go really low ( im tucking all the way around ) and havent had any probs with blowing any of them.
- i do think the ride is pretty shitty compared to my previous tein setups, its tolerable but not great ( like person above )
- you get what you pay for and I was broke at the time and in need of a suspension fast and cheap.
- if you have the money just buy a nice set for like a few hundred dollars more, its totally worth it. I have them and will be upgrading ASAP.

hope this helps

damn Mugen N1 is BALLER!!!

anyways im on HKS Hipermax RS

perfect street setup IMO, very comfortable, good enough rotation for weekend track time or touge, 30 way dampening adjustability, inverted monotube design, can really slam it if thats what you are looking for.

the spring rates are too low for a car seeing ALOT of track time/autocross/touge. 6k front and 9k rear, but it provides for a comfortable daily driven ride which is what my car is mainly used for.

I am currently running Tanabe Sustec Pro 2 coilovers. I like them for what they're worth. daily driving is a little stiffer that stock, but I can not really complain.
