Jic is where its at. I will be getting Jic coilovers in the spring probably. I don't have personal experience with their suspension kits, but i have their exhaust and i recommend their products to everyone.

I have a friend with Jic coils, very very nice set up.

Go with Jic. Seriously. Can i say that enough?

Go TEIN BASIC! Can be had for as low as 700 dollars. Bsides the great price, it GREATLY increases your ride quality in every way. The ride is smoother (whats a road bump?), it is also stiffer (corners like its on rails). And, you can safely drop the car up to ~3.5 inches. GO FOR IT!

yea again... wheres that kit darren?

im not optimistic of that kit as they cant even get it out after all the hype. its been too long and i think theyre day has faded. not only did they take pics of it with a big body kit on it to make it look lower, but then they take forever while everyones waiting on the kit. bleh for progress.

Exactly. Progress really did seem promising for a while, infact it was a kit i wanted. But they died down and out fast. No one has heard anything else since the release of those pictures. It may be a nice kit, but if the company can't get their act together and/or at very least let people know whats up, i don't think i would buy from them.
