Im really just looking for comfort and not performance. Does anyone know of any other coils that are for comfort, good quality, and affordable?

I got Endless-Zeal Function coilovers.. So far.. They're the bomb dig. lol I had TEIN CS before that, wasn't too bad I guess, but if you're going to spend that much on suspension, might as well throw in a few hundred more for a better product.

I have the Toms Advoxx Suspension, and it rides like GLASS on smooth road, but when, you start hitting messed up roads, it's pretty much like the stock rims and stock suspension jumping everywhere (maybe mines were blown ahah), but coco is right, if you want Pillowballs, the ride will be a bit harsh. Imo, get Tein HA's and use your stock Upper mounts, if you want ride and comfort.

If you ask me , riding low and comfort don't mix when I was slammed on SS Ride was pretty stiff . So if your looking for comfort your better off just doing springs . That is unless you want to put coils on and ride A inch lower than stock . Which is a waist of money if you ask me.

Like I said, I dont know much about coilovers. I like the fact that I can adjust my height, so thats why I want coils. I dont wants just springs because I hear that my shocks will blow.

how low you looking to go ? size wheels ? how aggressive ? and ofcourse you change shocks when you swap your springs

I'm probably on the same boat as LexusK.

I am currently on springs and the ride is OK. Still a bit floaty but it is OK.

The main draw back for me is the ability to manually adjust ride height and the ability to adjust the dampers.

I am looking for something that is not too stiff.. comfy.. but not to much float...

But if i were to get a aftermarket spring and strut combo, i might as well get full coilovers since the price is almost there.

I too am looking for something with upper strut mounts because it is a lot easier to install at home.
