ok so im doing my suspension, i was all set to go with eibach and tokico HPs. after reading some reviews the tokicos dont seem all that Great, just good.

i was looking at koni yellows with eibach, the price starts to get up their though. almost low end coilover price range, but are the konis worth it?

so, should i just go with eibach tokico, upgrade to koni yellows/eibach or go low end coilover?

i want something that handles curves very well(as well as i can afford) and can stand up to speed bumps and train tracks(yes i go slow over them). im not too worried about launching. i dont want them to blow in a year and be unable to drive, it is my daily driver.

id like to keep it under 700$ so i can add sways soon after.

If you read through all the reviews you can find on Tokicos you will find some people that say they hate them, and some people who say they love them. So you really have to take your chances. I have tokicos with H&R's and custom fit MKIV cusco pillowballs on the rear of mine and I don't think they are that bad, I actually like the feel of them. If you want something a little better than tokicos but not as expensive as konis you could always get Bilsteins ( a little more expensive than tokicos but also a little bit stiffer)....as far as konis go I have never used them

i couldn't have been happier with my ST/Bilstein setup. level and stiff without bounciness. go with that. eibach give it a wicked rake and it usually looks stupid.

Eibach does not give that much of a rake. I have Eibach/Bilsteins. If you think you may have enough for low end "coilovers" then I would go with Eibach/Bilsteins with ST sway bars with the rear bar set stiff. That is my current setup and I like it a lot.

I got KYB GR2's and aerospeed springs. They're great for "everyday" use. They also handle corners great. I cant remember the exact price but I paid less thatn $700.
