Just out of curiousity, what kind of suspension set up are you guys using. Are you happy with it? I cant decide between the spring/shock combo with upper pillow mounts, or a complete coilover system. Any input, details, complaints, blah blah blah would be apprecitated.

Well, struts/shocks/springs are well and good, and for the vast majority of people, you won't need more. But like I said, if you can swing it, TEIN coilovers are the best I've see/heard/experienced, but what kind of driving are you doing? The ppl I know that use them are drifters, and don't use the car as their daily driver for the most part. As they are racing suspension, they are VERY stiff, and would be a most uncomforable ride if you were to be using it to commute. On the plus side, most coilovers are adjustable (to an extent) so you can choose whether you want to be racing stiffness or softer.

Well, i wanna have something that is good all around. Daily driving, drag racing, street racing, autocross, and drifting would be cool too, if I had the tires to blow but yeah, thanks for the input

If price isn't an issue and coilovers are a little overboard, get yourself the Eibach ProKit with Koni Yellow, shocks/struts. You'll have enough left over for sway bars and strut tower bars, and your suspension will be complete.
konk, don't you mean if price IS an issue?
If it's NOT an issue, why wouldn't you get coilovers???

Not to put words in his mouth, but I think he meant if price isn't an issue and coilovers are impractical, he could get the ProKit/Yellow combo and spend the money saved from not buying the coilovers on the rest of the suspension...same amount of money spent, but more parts.
I'll go with konkman's idea. I'd suggest a Eibach Sportline/Koni Yellow (~2" drop) or a Eibach ProKit/KYB AGX (~1.7") combo depending on how low you want to go. That'll save you a fair amount of money compared to the coilovers...then you could probably get sway bars and strut tower bars as well.

Okay, so any opinions about upper pillow mounts with camber adjustment? Are they worth it?? I figured eibachs with kyb agx's and upper pillow mounts, that will be a little over a grand?? Right?
