geeeeeeeeez, now coilovers. you are spending a lot of $$ on your car in a hurry.

i have test driven quite a few Type S TLs and honestly, it's stiff enough stock. are you goin to get a setup that makes it stiffer or just lower?

you'll have to give us some really good before/after comparisons. how much did yo upay for coilovers???

i have heard the progress rear sway bar is a GREAT mod for thse cars. you ought to do that. it's cheap too.

lolz~ i purchased them from tirerack, $1075 shipped to my door. i couldn't be happier because they don't charge me tax and i could pay by my 0% apr credit card.
i'm thinking to get either progress RSB or H&R FSB and RSB... still thinking tho..... any suggestion?
