if you want to raise it back up in the winter then u need coilovers for sure...

you can get some toms motorsports coilovers(what i have) or any other coilovers and some kyb agxs for the front and GR2's in the rear and you'll be fine...

my ride is still fine and it only cost me $360 all together for the coilovers and shocks

KYB makes the AGXs & the GR2s, the only thing is that the GR2s aren't adjustable...

the reason why i have 2 different sets of shocks is because i bought my front AGXs for $75 used and i didn't want to pay like $350 for a brand new pair of AGXs for the rear so i bought the GR2s which were only $150 new....

...the guy at the store said that alot of people have the setup i have cuz the ride feels just as good with the GR2s in the rear as the AGXs and it's cheaper...

hope that helps
