JIC Coilovers
Look what I got in the mail today!. I might install it next week if I have time. All the instructions and the manuals are in Japanese though 
I will report on ride quality with all the detail as soon as they get installed.

Ok, can someone please move it to "Suspension" section? I'd appreciate that.
I have just got back from a performance shop where I had these babies installed and car lowered even further (almost slammed). When I came out of the shop, I noticed the difference straightaway. The car felt like it was on rails and at the same time the ride has retained it's softness and luxury. This suspension is amazing I would advise it to anyone who wants to get better handeling and get read of most body roll.
More pics to follow since battery died in my camera:
^^^^ yeah I know...I need new breaks and clean the whole thing out

SF's
I kinda expected them to be harsh but they are fairly close to stock. I do get a little more roadnoise with them though. Also the car is slammed, I need to lift it a little bit. A little too low for daily driver.

What is the max you can lower with those JIC? can you adjust it for a softer or stiffer setting? I am not to fimiliar with the JIC.
I am considering JIC or Tein CS, but I heard Tein CS only lowers it like 1.5 in max, is this ture?

$1300 from overboost...made me pay sales tax so alltogether I lost $1500 on those. JIC's can go extrimely low. There is enough adjustment area left to lay my car on the ground. They do not have dampening adjustment which I really do not need. The thing I don't like is that rear coilovers make this compressing sound when I go on a freeway and hit smooth dips. I don't know whether it's normal or if it would rub in, but it does annoy me sometimes. Otherwise they are absolutely great...now I need to work on strut/tie bars.
