Skunk2 coilovers --- trash
Tokico HP/blues --- trash
Tein springs --- overpriced just for the name

Go with a reputable QUALITY brand such as Koni, Ground Control, Progress....

ya DON'T go with tokico hp's which are basically stock replacements. koni yellow's is a must maybe even KYB AGX. How low were you planning to go?

Are you looking for a coilover or strut/spring combo? Or are you open to both options?

Indeed.

OP, if you would please read the sticky at the top of the Suspension forum, or the very same thread is also in my signature. You can ask me questions via PM, post in my thread, or make a more informed question in the form of a new post in the forums based on what you read in my thread. This topic used to (and still does) get beaten around a lot.
