go with the Tanabe DF's. a lot of members here are using them, but some say their tires rub a little. they're relatively cheap to. check out the vendors here, they have good prices. i bought my Tein springs from promotion here. pretty sure he has killer prices on Tanabe's.

no clue why some members rub. they complain that the rear rubs a little.

YamilR...what did they run? Did you put them on? If so, was it difficult?

I paid $155 and installed them myself. If you have a little knowledge with tools and using Chris07LB DIY as reference it was a breeze

Yeah, I have coilovers that are still breaking in (Megan Racing) and I can say, while the car handles amazingly... there is a TON of set-up you should do... ride height and dampening adjustment new, then re-setting after break-in and spring settling... the biggest disadvantage to Megan coil-overs (but the handling advantage) is the lack of negative travel, or float.

When you are in the city, and you go over a pot-hole or uneven surface, your suspension actually gains travel by extending into the hole, and allowing a longer compression stroke to absorb more of the bump or hole.

Coil over's don't have this (as a result the car bob's and sways very little and reamains firmly planted). Anyhow, in the end, the Tanabe springs will suit 85% of all people's street needs, TEIN's if you really like to push it and Coils for very smooth areas or track applications. Coil's with 17's is a hard ride...

If you invite over a friend who knows a little about cars, it's not too difficult... the rears are a piece of cake.. the front is a bit harder... you need a good floor jack and 2 jackstands as well.
