I have adjustable coil-over, but i hate em! All sleave coil-overs are very bouncy, before it was aight, cuz it was worth it cuz of the look....but now that everybody bitching about how bouncy my car is, I'm thinking of going with Nuespeed Sport Springs. Coil-over suck unless you get the full coil-over which is at least $800. I would go with lowering spring rather than coil-over.

Jeeze, the only one with air ride that responded.
That's ok, I'll be back in a week to change my vote since I am yanking all of it out and going to a pro-kit.
Fricking air ride is awsome, but not what you want driving at over 45MPH on the roads in DFW
AIR RIDE FOR SALE

no those definately would not. I strongly suggest staying away from the sleeve coilovers (not true coilovers). True coilovers have the spring and shock incorporated w/in each other. For example, tein, nex, apex'i all make true coilovers. Those, skunk2, Ground Control, etc. make sleeve coilovers which I strong suggest not using.

As Ghander Said "TEINS!!!!" There is only one thing better and that is JIC Magic. Even then you really cant tell the difference! I am buying my Tein SS from a fellow cler new for 850!! check the Black market. They are regulary like 1 G. It is 16 point adjustable plus ride height! They are the ultimate Coil over
