1.5-1.8 front. Rear, whatever ever comes with a set with those front specs.

They'll most likely still *fit* , but there has to be a different part number for some reason.

So are the KYB's and just lowering springs a good setup? I only need a 1.5 drop, so I don't really NEED the adjustability of a coilover. What do you guys think?

My setup

Struts: Tokico 5way adjustable's
Springs: Skunk 2 Coil Overs

I love the setup, it took a little while for the springs to break in & it was slightly bouncy at first but now it's awsome! With the right tires, i'm huggin turns at crazy speeds!

The coilovers will be much stiffer than the spring combination, but ride height adjustability is always a plus if that is your sort of thing. I, personally, would go with a nice spring setup of a drop height of around 1.5-1.75 for the best in ride height and comfort.

I really don't have a need to adjust really. I guess it would be nice for finding the perfect ride I want. But I'm not that picky. I'm getting motegi bronze fat 5 style rims, and I just dont want a stock suspension with them. So shmoo, you said the coilovers are nice, but then you said a 1.5-1.75 spring setup. What would you do? Haha, this is goin nowhere. 1/2 the people use coils, the other half uses springs. Oh well I got like a month to decide. Just keep shooting info at me.

The only good thing about coilovers is the adjustability of the ride height. Since you don't want that, I recommend springs that drop you where you want to be and you will get a smoother ride.

Thanks Shmoo. So, what brands? I was going to go either Eibach or Neuspeed. I don't want to spend over like 300$ (I ebay store all my performance stuff)
