problem with suspension help!
I have a eibach pro kit + koni adjustable + sprint camber kit setup...
on friday night I hit a huge pothole... the result is that the front driver side of the car is alot lower than the other sides...
Whenever I make a turn, the fender scrapes and rips the tires...
I brought it to the shop yesterday and today they said that the frnt driver side is all screwed up and needs replacing and the rest of the shocks are ready to break....
He said that the shocks arent really strong enough for street use...
so now I'm thinking of a full coilover setup instead...
how are the nex, apexi and tein systems?
anyone have any recommendations?
Oh yea, I also had problems with the upper control arm rubbing against the car esp after the camber kit...
would appreciate any advice...

teins are awesome straight up...u pay more...but the quality of handling surpasses any spring/shock combo...it handles better even without having even my stock strut bar on is to show you how well teins are made...

any other suggestions?
I heard that the teins are soft and have problems with bottoming out? what do u know about this. Sometimes I drive with a full load in my car and had problems with bottoming out in the past..

it doesnt look like the NEX coilovers are damping adjustable, can anyone confirm this?
How do the NEX coilovers(SS & SR) compare to the TEIN coilovers(super street) and the eibach/koni yellow combo?
