dont get anything from ebay unless its a well known name brand, and is a complete unit.......ebay coilover sleeps (aerospeed, dropzone, tsudo, etc.) have shitty spring rates and are as bouncy as hell

actually, bouncy has to do with the shocks, not the springs...a damper that isn't stiff enough will create a bouncy ride...

Your girlfriend will care

You'll care when you have to pee

You'll care when youre trying to drink something

Your shocks will care when they blow

Most of it's comfort I guess, but hey it's your car

I've got skunk2 coilovers (560lb/in) and koni yellows as a daily driver and the ride is bumpy as hell. i'd say if u dont autox or road race get off the shelf GC's. If u do autox, either get skunk2's or get some custom rated GC's. Personally if u have any springs over 400lb/in i'd suggest either Tokico Illumina or Koni Yellows.
