all depends on how much you want to spend. Tanabe's should be out for the usdm real soon. and from there all the other companies are too follow. Personally I want the cusco coilovers but I just cant wait that long. Tein are also a good alternative. I have those on my DSM and am pleased with it. The teins for the box aren't damper adjustable so they are set for a nice soft and comfy ride. Its not like you going to break 1g on the skid pad with the box anyways.

HKS brought over a few sets of their Hiper Dampers... not sure if they're all gone yet, but contact your local HKS authotized distributor and have them contact HKS for more info.
Expensive, but figure it'll probably last you a decade.

i was at superautobacs the otehr day and they told me they could special order whatever i wanted from japan, like work wheels, hks and tein kits, whatever, and it would be here in 5 to 7 business days with no extra shipping charges, just the retail price.

One thing that you gotta be careful of is what sort of "retail" price they are going by exactly. Using HKS Hiper Dampers again as an example, some of these sets of coilovers retail for over $2400 in Japan, and over here in the US, retail is like $2800!
