it really depends on what your whole goal is.

JIC or Tein to keep the budget moderate. they also have other higher end models if you have money to burn.

Koni's and GC's for the cheap, or Koni with any other Eibach spring combo.

Type R quality is far from the best suspension possible.

Let's see... best suspension possible... I'd probably suggest Moton shocks with ERS springs. That would run what, $1200 or so. Per corner. $4800 should do it. :thumbup:



So back to the real world, I would suggest Progress.

http://www.progressauto.com/ Look at their Competition I coil-over system. And don't get all worried about their list price, it usually sells for quite a bit less.

Forget about all the overpriced JDM BS. The watered down stuff that makes its way over here is strictly street equipment, and priced higher than better USDM alternatives.
