What do you mean affordable?

I think the 1250 price tag for the powered by max JZS147 coilovers, especially with their $100 lifetime replacement along with their build quality... and in my opinion they handle great on my car, a little stiff over the small school/apartment bumps but handling for DD is great.

does it bounce a lot since they tend to run a little more stiff than other coilovers"??

depends on how much damper you set how high your srping rates are etc etc im fine with my 22/20kg setup on mine but you expect it to be stiff going from stock to coilovers if you want comfort leave the stock suspesion in there

I actually find my coil overs to be much more comfortable because they are predictable.. Not jarring to me at all, i still go over large school bumps faster than most people driving their regular cars and trucks.
