I know Tein makes the best stuff when it comes to suspension. If I get coilovers I definitely have to get performance shocks too but, I want them to last awhile. Air Ride is way to much and I don't need all that. Nelson your car is to low for me lol. What kind of lowering springs you have anyway?
    i have FULL coilovers for sale right now

          Here's the deal...

          I'm more interested in purchasing a full damper kit (shocks & springs) rather that just lowering the ride with lowering springs or coilovers on OEM shocks. Here's my problem. I replaced my OEM shocks two months ago because they were old and no longer working. I was wanting to purchase the Tikico damper kit and I'm hearing that the shocks go out pretty fast for the price. They seem to be the best as far as price and quality but, I don't want the ride to be bouncey as shit either. I hear Tikico's are. I wanted to buy just lowering springs for now the Tein Luxury High_Tech springs with a drop not as low as the Tein S-Type springs but, even though these OEM shocks are new I just don't trust them. They feel really good though. Much better than before. I wonder what the performance setup feels like.

                    in my opinion, i always believe that a good set of hi-low-kit
                    is much better an investment than a mild bodykit.
                    it will not only help to drop the car but also
                    give a better performance.
                    i want to go lower but you guys may know that
                    the streets in taiwan are usually ready for rally competition.
                    my plan is to go for 17" rims to short the gaps a little bit.

                      I know what you mean mane. Some of the roads get so bad were I live it's like rally racing on concrete roads with a body kit and lowered "2" inches to the ground lol. That's stupid and I'm just being cautious ahead of time. I think I know what I'm going to do now. Wish me luck. I'll get you guys posted once the drop has been done.

                          I would say get the teins. They should be fine for your application. Shockwise I would go for the tokico illuminas. The white adjustable ones. The agx are alright but they kill drops just like MxCx car as you seen. I forgot what was his drop like 1.75? But the AGX raises it up a bit.

                              I've been looking at the tikico illuminas shocks. Aren't they adjustable too? I'm definitely going to get the Tein lowering springs. I think the S-type (F:"2.2" R:"1.7) springs will be to low for me so, I'm going to order the Tein Luxury High_Tech lowering springs (F:"1.5" R:"1.2") They are a little stiffer than the S-type springs, the drop is not is low, and they work with the OEM shocks a little better because they don't put as much stress on the OEM shocks as the S-type springs would. Do you guys recommend a camber kit with any drop?
