You should be looking in the "Vendor Marketplace".

Closest thing is free shipping from L-Tunedparts.com

^^^ both l-tuneparts and hopupracing have the Tein CS for $1330. That's the best price I found so far. IT would be nice if someone is running a group buy on a set of coilover.

$1,1xx. is actually kinda cheep. IMO thou you dont need coilovers for a street car spring/shock combi is all you need. 80% of the ppl who buy coilovers have really no idea what they are getting except for the adjustable drop/stiffer settings or even why/how to make it so your car does better on the track (down/up stroke rates)... just that they have 'coilovers' ooo ahh factor.

Course there is no spring/shocks yet

what if ppl are buying coilovers for just those reason's, for the stiff/softer settings and the adjustable height factor? its not just all about the ooo ahh factor.

I got mine for the Stiff/softer setting option. Even with the sports package, I felt that the motion was loopy, and didn't handle as well. This is of course coming from an RX-8 and a FD RX-7 which handled like a monster on a course.... guess anything after that will feel like a tugboat.

No, but a lot of it is. It's cool to say you've got coilovers. I wonder how much stiffer they would make my sport suspension.

I have 20's and I want the lowest drop possible without rubbing. No springs out there made exactly for my application. With coilover I can do that and I can also have the drop even for both front and rear. The IS come with the rear lower than the front, which I hate. I also want the ride to be as smooth as stock. Coilover is the only way for me.
