What suspension do you suggest? I was looking at Tein but I didn't know what to choose. The streets aren't perfect in Philly so I want something that can handle a few bumps without it feeling like I ran over a landmine, and I want it to be pretty stiff. Tein had one where you could adjust the camber from the tower, which I definitely need because I used to kill tires on my lowered civic. What's up with this EDFC thing they keep mentioning?

I would take $1000 of it and drop it on your car. I would put the rest into something that can make you money, or at least not something that depreciates quite as fast as a car/mods for a car.

I have close to $20k in my car - I regret it daily. While a car certainly supplies instant gratification, it is a terrible financial decision.

Sorry to be so negative, as I know modding cars are fun. I guess as I get older I realize that it is not the smartest investment

na-t will be best satisfaction for your money.
there are like 5 threads i can think of that discuess the different tein coils.
edfc is an electronic controller that lets you adjust the dampening force from inside your car. it is more expensive than regular coils + the unit.

Yeah I'll probably just do the suspension for now because I'm trying to purchase a house this summer. What suspension do you suggest?
