Yeap, Bilstein shocks we're on my christmas list. Just got Eibach pro, you can go with H&R sport because the Eibachs are discontinued. Unless you have the cashalu for coils.

I don't agree and am not going to go through the whole process of adjusting the coils including alignment just to raise and lower it. If you have the money for them, go for it.

ECS did just come out with a coil over kit:

Kinda interesting.

so its just a lil twist thing that goes over your existing struts? idk how comfortable i feel with that... but im with aledelic... if u have the money for coils... get them now or u will wish u did later after u wate the money on springs... unless ur only going for a "mild look" then springs COULD work out good

you're going to regret not lowering but somehow you won't regret not getting more power??? It's a personal preference thing. Looks or power ........... then make your choice if you're limited to one.

I don't see why you'd need to adjust the coilovers enough times to make it a problem. that ecs kit has been out for a while and I don't know how I feel about it. if you like the height of springs then maybe coilovers are unnecessary but I think 2" drop isn't enough..
