so i was looking into getting a strut/spring combo and some guys gave me some good input with the tokico blues/ST springs...but ive seen some RS-R down springs for the same price as the ST's....and with the description...they seem better...it says the ST's lower 1.3" all around and the RS-R lowers the front 1.2" and the rear 0.8"...people have complained a lot about the eibach's so im not really leaning toward them...any input? pics on rides? suggestions? thanks..

before coilovers, i used to run koni yellows and ST's. they rode nice and i liked the drop. i just needed to increase the dampening on the koni's but i was too lazy and got coilovers little over a month after i got that setup.

I have got the RS-R's and Tokiko Illumina II's all around. It has a nice rake to it, but a little to low IMHO. Scrapes the driveway with the lip almost everytime. The ride is good though, not bouncy like alot of other lowered cars I see. Will probably look into getting coil overs so I can bring it up some in the front.

i paid way too much for my old set up. cant remember exactly but it was outrageous. if you check horsepowerfreaks.com, 935motorsports.com or another online store it shouldnt be too outlandish, somewhere in the neighborhood of 5-7 hundred tops as a rough guess. shop around and im sure you will find a good price. if you have any other questions feel free to pm me and ill do my best to help!
