Try Cusco or JIC, if you don't mind spending close to $1500.

Obviously he does mind spending closer to $1500.

If you want non-Tein or non-H&R you are pretty much left with a custom setup, or getting lucky on a deal on used coilovers. Nate at S-Squared Motorsports can make you a really good set for about $1000. Give him a call and he can fill in the details better than I can.

How about BUddyCLub coilovers, not even sure where to get them.

I dont want the best at the moment, but I dont want the cheapest as well.

Everyone around my area has TEIN and that is teh reason why i dont want them. I NEED to be different.

H&R, i just dont personally like...

So all other brands are all good....
thanx for the help, but need more if possible.
Thanx!

my russian opinion, i try to be different from people in my area, but with suspension since you dont see it, like wheels or body kit, even an exhaust, Tein do a great job , reasonable price. again thats just my opinion

And when you buy custom built parts, what you aren't paying for is marketing, shipping, packaging, tooling, or corporate overhead.

I am in the same boat but don't care about being different. I have an 04 and would like to stay around 1000. Would you guys suggest the Tein basics? One more thing I am looking for is a complete assembly so I can pull the stock struts and springs and keep them together and install the coilevers in their place.
