Coilovers will be a complete set that are ready to install (springs and shocks).

By the way, Stasis raised the prices on the coilovers.

Yah with that amount you can get a noice setup. the amount of lowering will be determind by either your fenders or your bumpstops so lambo low ...probly not an option without bags lol.

They just recently raised the price. If you're lucky and the store has couple in stock, they probably would let them go for the old price.

I'm goin with the h&r bilstein sport combo. Under $800 at ecstuning. Not necessary to get coilovers unless you are frequent at the track. You still need to lift the car to adjust them anyway.

I have koni's on mine.......sweeeeeeeeeeet.

For 2 g's the door is wide open. That will buy most brands until you get in to high end racing coilovers.

So I guess you didn't know, but a coilover means "coil spring over a shock". So, its a 1 piece replacement of the strut(shock) and spring. The are almost always adjustable, so you can set the ride height to your liking. however, if you go to low, you may have rubbing, or too much negative camber which will wear your tires rather quickly.
