TEIN - Good stuff, old school setup.. been around for a bit and are pricy but still worth $
OMNI POWER - still a good start up setup, 90% of the stuff you "hear" is from ppl who dont really know or is hear say.. they got some good products.. find a good dealer and you can get a good price and good information:

D2-? not familar with them.. i know you can find them super cheap on ebay (tiwan)
KSPORT-? same as above
SKUNK2 PROS-? dont know, skunk2 hasnt had the best luck, but i cant say much. they come and go along with the others


also look into buddy club and koni yellows or tokico

pm me for any details or info.. if you got more questions

For less than $900 you won't find a better or more proven setup than Koni / Ground Control.

Tein is overpriced and has crap spring rates for performance, unless comfort is your main priority. GC/Koni allows custom rates from soft 300/200 to rock hard 1000+ rates.

Remember, you get what you pay for. A quality product is not $700 unless its GC/Koni, which is about $800-$830 with custom rates. search including archived and you will see feedback on all the springs you mentioned and others feedback to this question.

I want to buy lower priced X,Y,Z coilovers, which is better...is asked alot and there are loads of feedback available to you.

Which Tein also, and what do you want to do with the car, daily driven or auto-x or both and is performance more important to you then comfort, of you do you want comfort over performance...or both.

and Tein don't need JDM LCA, they fit the car...i.e. EK, EG not country of sale.
