that doesnt help the OP what so ever... I mean, you don't even state why? was it from a member or a vendor? because if its a member, you might as well say "don't buy shit from the internet"


I'd say go Stance. They're inverted monotube and come with 2 set of springs, both of which are probably more comforable/streetable than PBM's set up.

KTS coilovers are also a recommendation. Both are great entry level coilovers are great prices.

my friend has a set of apexi's albeit it's on a R32, and they're stiff as fuck, too much for the streeet.

stick with the stances, good price, and they look sweet too

i say go stance. i have driven a few s-chassis on stance its great. i have stance on my daily driven SC300 right now and great. its firm but not too stiff. my buddy has zeal and its just way too much for a mostly street car.
