I am currently looking at the BC Racing coilovers, but if you guys can suggest something, that would be great.
Looks like your cardomain site lists the HKS coilover.. how do you like them?

so you don't think any sites have them in stock still? has it been that long? Also, is it better to have a higher spring rate in the front, or the same all the way around. I would think higher in front because of the added weight of the engine.

Obviously I can't answer for every shop in the US - we waited 8 months for 2 sets to arrive last time, and I know they are no longer being produced now, as the newer versions were released in Japan already (Hipermax Sport). There is no eta, last I heard, for the newer versions to arrive stateside though
Spring rates don't operate in a vacuum - they are tied very closely to the valving of the damper. The two must be properly setup to work together to produce a good ride and good handling - looking at just spring rates does not really give you any insight into how the setup will perform.

Adam sold me a set of Cusco Zero-2's a while back.. I've been very happy with them on the street... I have tried all the damper settings and settled in on "3".. This yields a ride that is slightly stiffer than stock.. I found that anything below that feels softer than stock.. and "5" is undrivable on the street--any big bump or dip in road will send you car into the air

what about STANCE?
IMO, tire side wall affects the ride comfort.. STANCE with OEM tires were harsh... but with my Kumho and beefed up Stance is Fine!!!
also, Why would you get coilover if you are looking for comfort.. you need to be prepared for little harshness since you will rip the corners with style..

yes the PSS adjust rideheight, the PSS9 adjust height and dampening.
We have the PSS available to ship today (can have a set here later this afternoon!), we hope to have more PSS9 back in stock next week, they've been very popular!
