first off, I don't want a super expensive coillover setup because this car is daily driven, I'll autocross it/drift it maybe 3-4 times a year... also I'll be using AGX shocks becuase they lasted through years of abuse on my last cars..

i'm just wondering who uses a spring setup, and what your thoughts on that particular spring are.. right now, i think I'm gonna buy the rs*r race springs because I've only heard good things about them.. but if anyone wants to share anything then thanks!

I'm curious about the Tein s-techs.. alot of people told me that they suck, but usually those are the people that heard that from a friend's friend or something... just looking out!

We have the Swift springs. They are unbelievable. I suggest you give them a look before you make up your mind. Plus the new pricing is on par with Eibach.

i have tein springs, they were great to start with but just to soft, i imagine thats what you'll hear from most people on hear. If you are a comfort guy and just want to lower a little bit, i'd most likely go s-techs.

Stick with RSR, they have the stiffest spring rates. Unless you want to call up Dave turner motorsport and have custom springs made to your specification for like a 100 bucks a corner.

KYB Buzz spec and custom springs: as close to a coilover you'll ever get with a spring/shock combo.
