Did some searching as well. Im thinking of going with Eibach prokit for lowering, then cusco sways? It stays somewhat within my pricerange and isnt TO dominating. I dont track yet cause I dont feel I have enough power to enjoy it, but I do a lot of highspeed driving around town and would love some better suspension here and there. Would also make me feel more comfortable sitting in the seat just drivin

Do some research on spring rates. There are some goods threads listing all the various rates of the springs and coilovers on the market. Many of them simply lower the car without increasing the spring rate, so do some research and try to buy something that will fit your longer term goals too. Springs like Eibach make the car look great, but don't add any stiffness.

Yah if you haven't already used the search function, do it. But if you haven't found the answer you're looking for, you might want to be a little bit more specific question. Like what's your price range, linear/progressive spring preference, and the lowering height you're looking for (if any).


Hope this helps out a lil bit

Oh yah when I was shopping at Crawford for my cats, they suggested this suspension setup for me. It gives much better handling ability than stock of course; it's good for aggressive street driving with occassional track days (like 1-2 times a month).

1) RS*R down springs or RS*R Ti2000 springs (both springs have the same spring rate and height drop, but the Ti2000 springs are a little bit more expensive and have some titanium in them. They also have a lifetime warranty as well).

2) Hotchkis Sway bars...you should start off at the medium setting in the front and medium setting in the rear. If you want more understeer, set the rear to a softer setting. If you want more oversteer, set the front to a softer setting. You might also want to get the collar kit for these sway bars as well in order to prevent any squeaking noise that some people have been experiencing. Here's the link to a thread describing the collars.

3) Koni Yellow sport shocks...these are adjustable as well and give a firmer feel than stock and work well with the RS*R springs.

Hope this helps and happy motoring.
