Pros: Price, Quality, handling
Cons: none

These are the first coils I have ever owned on any car. I am really impressed, and highly recommended! At first I was really worried about the ride comfort and looks. And then I felt in love with them. Performance wise, I set to 8 clicks front (from soft), and 15 rear. Really nice and handles well. However, having STOCK tires is not a good idea. I have Falken FK452, and is a perfect combo.
Later then got Cusco RSB......wow...what a difference!

Very good coils, highly recommended!

Pros: Good performance for the money
Cons: need to bend the brake line bracket a little to fit the line on

I installed them at around 36000 miles. reduced rolling alot. Not that rough ride as I thought. It's prob the best performance I can get for the money. I recommend sway bars, endlinks and strut bars like I had to max out the performance. It rides rougher after my 18" rims upgrade. If you want sporty and comfortable then you can just get that with the stock rims.

Pros: Adjustability, cost, performance, instal
Cons: none

These are absolutely amazing. 32 point adjustable or something like that. You can feel the clicks on the adjuster knob. 5 clicks off the stiffest setting and it will be perfect for flat pavement, it almost makes you sick on normal roads. 20 clicks off the stiffest setting and these things are absolutely perfect. I would never have thought that you can adjust something like these and feel it change so drastically.

When they come in the mail, they are pre-set to lower the front about 1.5 inches and the back about 1 inch or at least that is close to what I measured. These are just as good as sets costing twice as much. If you are going to sell the car in the future, you can put these on the softest setting and you will hardly tell a difference over stock. For the money, these are perfect.

I have yet to get any swaybar upgrades, but I don't know if I even need them.

An installation note for the fronts; they are about 2 inches shorter than the stock struts, so once you install them on one side, the sway bar will be trying to balance the other side and it can be difficult to remove the second front strut. It is best to just place the first knuckle on a stool or something and get the second stock strut off before you put the knuckle/strut bolts on either side.

Pros: Exelent build quality, reasonable price, ajustability, signifigant handling increase
Cons: slightly stiffer ride (although didnt bother me at all)

I love these. I got them from importimageracing and they got me a great deal on them! The fit and finish on these pieces is excelent. there were no issues installing them. The ajustability available to you really makes them the best choice. handling is night and day it doesnt even feel like your driving the same car! they also have a great warranty on them. they are fully covered for a year and i believe after that if they ever do break you can have them rebuilt for something like 100 dollars.

Pros: Better handling, good price, adjustable
Cons: None

Great product for the money. A very streetable coilover setup. Dampers and ride height are easily adjustable, and the ride is very tame for a coilover setup. Improves dive, squat and body roll characteristics drastically. Would highly recommend over spring/strut assemblies.
