So are Tanabe coilovers considered "budget"? I don't even know how much they are.
Still not sure whether to go w/ coilovers or the lowering springs. I'd be using the lowering springs w/ the stock struts / shocks. Again, anyone know if coilovers require modified bumps stops like lowering springs do or does it depend on what height you adjust coilovers to? |

I had tein springs and cut the front bump stops in half, never had a problem. I have Megan coilovers now and they have their own bumpstops on 'em, but you shouldnt need to do anything to them, I installed coilovers, am tucking tire, 205/50/15 kumho ast, on Rota Slipstream, 15x6.5, they are adjusted very low and very stiff and I have no rubbing or bottoming out, to my liking of course, although the best thing about coilovers is you can ADJUST them!!!

P.S. also added camber bolts to front to negate any rubbing issues, added 2.5 negative camber, this is a must with my current rim/tire setup to tuck tire, maybe with a 195 width it wouldnt be a neccesity

Suprised to hear this, as no one else has mentioned this, to my knowledge. I've certainly not had that experience, but maybe it takes more time?  Can you elaborate?

All springs will sag a bit over time regardless of the brand, if you are getting a deal on 'em, I say go for it, it will make the car alot more fun to drive, its a win/win situation for you
