Recommendations on suspension
I have an EG coupe and currently have stock shocks with heated stock springs on the front and Type X full coilovers in the rear. The rear is too bouncy for me though.
I was thinking of going stock shocks with K sport springs
Or cheap coilvers on Tokico Blues. I am on a tight budget.
Any recommendations will be helpfull.
Thanks in advance!

if your afraid of a bouncy ride and ballin on a budget -full length springs will be your best bet ive heard great things about H&R springs
and as far as tokico blues they suck
save up and get a good shock like Koni Yellows which allow you to adjust the spring perch so you can lower your car via spring perch allowing you to lower your car with full length springs VERY COOL!
dont cheap out on your suspension your already riding ona bad setup why would you replace it with something thats not gunna offer durability and the same shitty ride? :D
everyones gunna tell you the same story
PIC offers reasonably priced coilover kits i forgot to mention i never used them but i heard good things and plan on giving them a try here soon
to give you an idea of my feedback and past expieriance with suspension setups
i had tokico whites 5 way adjustable / GC coil over sleeves on a EK it was alright but the shocks didnt last very long and it was a shitty ride in comparison to the Koni yellow / Ground control setup i ran on my next car , i liked the konis so much i bought a new set for my current car.
a lilttle history behind the konis i hit a curb going about 80 (my fault stupidity), hit a curb goin about 40 ( tire blew ) and the shocks never blew,
just recently i got into a little accident again!
with my new konis going about 40-60mph and i hit a curb went down an embankment and they too are still holding up
ive had a friend with Function Form Coilovers he crashed and they blew and his accident wasnt nearly as bad as teh ones my konis been thru
ive had a friend with ksport coilovers he had them after having KYB adjustables and some wierd springs and both those setups the shocks blew out
like i said dont cheap out or find a cheap solution because you'll pay for it down the road .
" You Gotta Pay to Play " " You Get What You Pay For" are good quotes to keep in mind throughout the rest of your car life .
i hope i helped out a little bit.

Thanks a bunch man!
My friend had KYBs that blew in less than 6 months.
I really want to get Koni Yellows but I don't have the cash right now.
I think I am going to go stock shocks with K sport lowering springs.
I heard K sport springs are good.

If you must get something now, get some nice springs, like Eibach or H&R. Both are quality and both ride very well. Then save up for a nice set of dampers. As others have said, Koni Yellows are about the best bang for the buck you will find. I've had KYB AGX's and Tokico whites, Koni are superior to them both, ESPECIALLY the AGX's. DO NOT buy those. Save up and do it right the first time. I wish I had. Good luck!
