Cool Final decision :)

I finally decided to change suspension first. It's going to be HKS Hipermax III. I've asked about this one of shops and they asked me $2050 including labor fee. Do you think it's reasonable? or should I get coilover kit seperately.. because I don't know how long the installation takes!!!

im with sam. if your just going for looks and a little performance go with eibach springs. but if you want that adjustability go with the tanabe sustec's. unless your really tracking your car i think they are a waste. but its your car and your $$

if you want the adjustability of coilover and are not tracking the car you should go with the tanabe sustec coils Lou@amplified will hook you up he is a vendor here. tanabes are quality coilover best bang for the buck compared to the hks which are pricey. if your not super **** about exact ride height eibach's are good they give a nice drop and you won't need a camber kit. but with the tanabe coils if you go any lower than eibach height you will need camber kit.
I had eibach's but wanted to go a little lower and purchased tanabe sustec coils and spc rear camber kit. and lou hooked me up


and my above post i meant to say "unless your really tracking the car i think the HKS COILS are a waste of money"

Thanks for the tip. yeah.. I guess spending around $2k is not worth since I'm not tracking..

That's a fair price for HKS Hipermax installed, but yeah if you're not being aggressive with your ride you should just get Tanabe's.

I'm selling mine this week, PM me of for a deal since you're local!

Don't they come in two different version... normal version which spring rate is much lower. And sport version where the spring rate is much much stiffer? I agree though... you better be tracking your car if you're getting those coilovers. But for people who are just wanting coilovers and just DDing everyone goes for Tanabes.
