    Had:
    Eibach Springs Pro Kit -> $325
    Skunk2 coil overs -> $295
    AIM performance coil overs -> $89.99

    Have:
    H&R Race Spring Set -> $195


    The H&R springs are the most comfortable ride I have had with a 2" drop.

    All installs were free, down at the 2True Performance Shop

    They're good, very stiff... but good. I'd recommend them as long as you upgrade your struts also.

    :twisted: coil overs you have to take that head thing off the strut springs just slap it on :twisted: springs cause coils are too bouncy sometimes :twisted:

    i got obx coilovers with kyb agx struts and shocks i got the coilovers for 150 and the kybs for 340. installed them myself it was pretty easy. and 55 bucks for an alignment. grand total of 545

    i suggest if you get coilovers to do some research i got the obx's cause a few people on the board had them and they said that they had no problems. and so far i havent had any problems either. if you want the top of the line coilover go with the ground controls but those are gonna cost you around 350. just do your research and dont rush into it
