Blox and the word competition should never be used together. That being said, don't buy them...

For 500-650 your pretty much stuck with garbage coilovers or lowering springs and shocks. Maybe a set of used Koni Sports and Ground Controlls.

i went with the yonakas for 500 shipped with a lifetime warranty, they ride okay, but they handle damn good.

just throwing that out there as an option for the price range.

Blox products are not well designed and the quality is definitely questionable. I've had a bad experience with their lower control arms after only about a year. What a joke. I'll never recommened any of their products, esp coilovers..

For under $600 shipped you can get Progress CS-II coilovers. Progress has a strong reputation and for the price, these coilovers are very hard to beat. I don't know of any other company as highly regarded as Progress that sells coilovers for that price...

If you HAVE to be cheap. Progress CS-II.

I've had them on my car for 6 months now and I'm hitting my next track event on the 22nd.

Car handles great

If you want a "good" sporty suspension get one that actually sponsors rear race cars and are used by people who track their car on a regular basis.

People who've actually taken their car to HPDE and autocross stuff use:

Koni
Eibach
Progress
PIC
Tokico
AMR

Any of those brands will fair you well as long as you don't get one of their OEM replacement shocks.

Ahhh, for some reason I thought they were more.

OP, everyone on this forum seems to like the Progress CS-IIs...I'd get those.
