If you dont need a very low drop, then I think you'll be fine with those choices.

Excellent on both. They're high end coilovers, it would be hard to find a flaw on either.

I'm sure you can get some really good coilovers for 2000. My budget was like 600 haha

If i could find some nice coilovers that had a good ride for that price i would love to only spend 600 but so far I am thinking about 1000 is the cheapest ill find some good ones.

The Tanabe CST would probably be the best coilover you can buy for $2000

Mainly looking to drop it so there is very little gap between my wheel wells and my 19s..... not really sure how low that is.... right now my car is sitting really high and my rims look hella small.

My suggestion - BC Rang kit with Swift springs. It will give you the most height adjustability without sacrificing shock travel and it will be really comfortable.

Hit us up and we can help you out with a setup
