lol yeah well that goes with the coilovers too. unless you spend 2k. The Basics are so bad. I know Jourdan used Swifts if I am correct? Ask him?

lulz, Yeah I had a set of Swifts. The springs themselves were very nice, but the dampening on the stock struts sucked so much. And when I took them off (to install coilovers ) it looked like the rear struts had blown.

I have been told, and I believe it, that the best route for suspension is a Koni/Ground Control set-up. That is Koni struts and the Ground Control coilover kit. The only drawback is that to get the Konis in you have to hack up a set of OEM struts.

yea i know about the koni struts. to me it seems like a stupid design that you have to cut up a stock part to use a new one. they should have sold it as a PnP kit especially for the amount they charge for there kit. im going to get some bc br coilovers and call it a day.

I suggest the Koni option too if you're looking for comfort plus drivability and handling.
If you're going just for springs H-Techs have a very mild drop and aren't as harmful to the stock struts as S-Techs may be. I have heard BC's can be rough at times too. It's really gonna depend on what you're using the car for and what look you want to have. You can have stance but the parents would never want to ride in your car status too.
