Good: L-tuned for steve at carson toyota..~$550(check with him for the latest pricing)
or eibach/HR + Bilsteins shocks, ~$700
Better: Bilsteins coilovers , ~$800-900
Best: Teins flex, or HA if you want stiffer...

well, then i suggest eibach/bilstein, that wont kill the ride, matter o fact it'll keep it close as possible and drop you an inch. Someone else on this board just installed that combo and said it rode great. Plus the bilsteins won't ride that harsh, it has dampening adjustment and height adjustment.

I say go with the Tein FLex w/edfc . I think the flex is just a tab bit stiffer than the CS . But with the edfc you can change the dampening for the mood you in , soft for cruising and hard for racing .
Look for the thread that discusses the flex , i beleive he said it was almost stock on the softest dampening .

Well , if you going to do something , why not go all out ?? If money is a concern just hold off for a couple months to save and buy the best .
If you want comfort , the ltuned setup is good , but the drop isnt much . Most of the other coilovers gives a rough ride , but the drop is perfect . The Tein Flex , Tein CS , and Tom's Advox has the drop and also the comfort .
I am going with either the Flex or Advox , but Flex is so attractive with its versatility .
