Coilovers

[ebpda9]

i finally decided to get a set of coilovers for my car and i really have no clue on what to get. i don't wanna go too expensive but i would prefer something that has a nice ride. i looked and the only set of teins for my car is the tein cs which sell for almost 1700 @ http://mmrusa.com/tein.htm. also i found some matrix coilovers for 800 @ http://www.hmotorsports.com/suspension/coilovers.html anybody has any feedback on the matric coilovers ? what else. i want to spend up to 1 grand, or should i go for the koni yellows with skunk 2 or the GC ??? what will be a nice setup ?

Tein CS... if I remember, those are a couple of steps above the HAs, especially in stiffness, etc. Probably not great for the street and too much to spend.

Get true coilovers over sleeves/struts.

I just checked Tein.com and they have the SS for your car. You can get those for around $900. Not quite as performance oriented as the HAs, but they're nice.

koni makes a threaded shock body setup....look into it, its about $800. tein are too much $$ if you are just driving on the street.

threaded shock body 800+
coilover sleeve 340= 1120, when i can get the teins for 900-1000

It costs THAT much to lower a car?

Not really, only with expensive components.

Get them from wherever you're buying the coilovers. I think they'll run you around $400 if I'm not mistaken. They aren't that necessary for normal street driving either.

I'm so close to calling up the shop and ordering some Tein HAs, but I'm reluctant to spend the money right now.
