Here's my plan: I'm going to buy Tein H-Techs and use them with my stock shocks for 20-30,000 miles or so. During that time, I'l save up for a more sophisticated setup; probably coilovers. I'll sell the Teins off to someone for cheap. Does that sound pretty reasonable?
BTW, I know this sounds retarded, but how the hell does one pronouce "Tein?" I feel dumb buying a product from a brand I can't pronounce. Like when my dad had his Meeshubitsi Eclipse.
