koni yellow and prokits have awesome ride and you can drop the car about the same as sportlines if u set the konis on the lower perch without the ride being as harsh. only prob is you cant just raise the car up easy to get on alignment machines and other lifts.

the brand tein speaks for itself. i kinda wish i got the tein coilover cuz it would have only been like $200 more and i can adj the car to whatever i want. i just dont know how agressive the spring rates are. i might sell my whole setup and get the tein over the summer. i have to think about it.

I just installed the Tein's. The ride is awesome. Worth every penny. After I bought them, I looked at Tein's web site and saw that they only drop 2 1/4" front and 2.75" rear. THEY WERE WRONG. It was more like 4" all around. I will have pics up later. I just wish I didn't have 35 series tires because the ride is pretty harsh. You figure sporlines, $200+ and koni yellows are $450+. Tein's are $820 shipped.

in order to adj the perch u have to take the shock/spring completely apart, move the perch, and reassemble.
