I am total agreement with this statement. It looks better than stock set up but i didn't notice and improvement what so ever.
I personally am done with coilovers.

you've hear wrong. whether they're "one piece" or "two piece" has nothing to do with whether they're bouncy or not, it's all about dampening and spring rates.

I have the World Sport Dampers on my R. I think they are great for the price. They ride similar to stock just with ride height adjustment. I am getting rid of them this summer because I want dampening adjustment for the road and track. Replacing them with Tein RA.

You can't get JIC's for $1000 in any trim level. You can however get some Tein SS's for about $900 plus shipping.

I am happy with the WS's its just i am going for something more agressive in means of spring rates. I am contemplating the type Flex from tein.

For $1000, I would get Konis with custom rate GC's. I don't think the WS is any better than stock besides ride height adjustability.

Some coilover companies will allow you to change to a custom spring rate when asked while purchasing the system. The bad part about the Apexi WS suspension is that the dampening is non-adjustable.

Tokico Illuminas are great for the price. However, if you fork out another $100 you can get a much better shock such as Koni Yellows. FYI the koni yellow rear shocks for the itr or anyone using itr rear LCA the shocks must be taken off the car inorder to adjust the dampening.

I have the WS's and they ride alot softer then stock. I dont have confidence in them when hitting turns like I did with the stock ones but I love the cadi feel on long road trips...hahaha

Is Tein SS a replacement for the Tein HA's?

yes, they don't make HA's anymore just the SS's. The SS's are height adjustable and the shocks are 16 way adjustable. Also from Tein I am sure custom spring rates are available. Also at Tein USA located in Paramount, CA they have the capability to take apart and rebuild your suspension without having to ship out the product back to japan inorder to repair it.
