skunk2 are good. and bad. i heard goods and bads about everything though..

aerospeed is a cheap brad but again i heard goods and bads.

i would personally go with skunk2. or eibach or sprint springs. im running eibach sportlines on my ek and i like them alot. i wanna go lower though now that i have by bodykit off and im just gonna get some JIC true coilovers.

depending on your budget get skunk or aerospeed coils.

Well I officially didn't buy coilovers.
I bought Tanabe springs with Tokico blue struts.
Such a good ride.

i heard on the kunk2 coil overs there is like a little flang on the bottom of mosts coil overs that usually sit down on the shock tower. and the skunk2 dont have this flange. witch isnt nothing major. i just heard sometimes they squeek a little if u hit a bump thats pretty big. i dont know if this is true i never owned a set or anything but this is what i was told from a local shop. :shrug:

Personally I don't like sleeved coilovers. You take away from the ride quality of the springs when you adjust them to lower the car. Sure low springs will ride rough too, but at least the springs were made to ride at that rate. coilovers you're just smashing the spring.

...if that post made sense? haha.
