Default Coilover ?

Ive done a search and nothing is doing it for me. Im interested in the H&R Coilover kit or the Tein SS kit. Im really leaning on the H&R coilovers becuase I heard they offer a really really stiff ride with no bounce at all and thats exactly what I want. Im not planing on doing Spring and Strut combo b/c of obvious reasons. And if anyone has anything to say about the Teins that'll change my mind totaaly go ahead.

what's the obvious reason? A spring and shock combination can perform as well as some coilovers....ask the scooby guys....I was in an Impreza RS and it was an STI spec Eibach spring and Bilstien shock combo and this **** could really handle...just my .02

H&R all the way, the only reason to get coilovers are for hieght adj. if you aren't goin to adjust the hieght then spring and shock combo will good enough.

Um, Ground Control Coilovers (or Skunk2, etc) can adjust the height as well...People dont buy full coilovers for JUST the height adjustment...cmon now.

I would just like to say..If you have the money, get some nice full coilovers.

Im in the process of installing type r springs on stock shocks.. I really wish I had more money for full coilovers because springs compressors are a PITA! lol!

Thats just on certain springs, I know the pro-kits are like that, i think the ones that h&r makes have an even drop on both sides.

Go with the H&R coilovers. Teins are good, but IMO, they are overrated. All part of the "JDM" fad or whatevers. I think H&R has an awesome warranty too, might be lifetime. Check in to that.

you should juss stay over on your coast... APC might be all ghetto when it comes to lights that you get under ur chasis but don't knock on something you haven't tired. as for me my ground controls are working fine for a good launch...less than 14, may i add

He wasnt trying to hate on you...but it is a widely known fact that APC does not make great products - they make cheap products. Your GCs are great. Good for you on buying them. Good luck on those stocker shocks though...
