Default Coilovers

Ok, I have just decided that the springs/shock combo is not good enough. After looking at Daizen's (drop way to low on the rear - (I have a killer system in the trunk) and JDM Espelir (good luck in finding) I have come to the conclusion that Coilovers are for me. Now....I'm looking at Tein CS w/EDFC or Tanabe S-OC's w/Helper springs. I just like MANY of you want a decent ride. I carry customers in my GS and don't want their teeth rattling when they ride in my car. I want a smooth ride and the capablity to drop the suspension to match my Silver L-Sportline Model 4's (19x8.5 and 19x9.5). Any Suggestions ?

Thanks...

Jim

Thanks Rominl for the reply, that's what I was was thinking also. From what I have read, it's almost a no-brainer. Man I am SO tired of the 4x4 look on my 430. while the rear looks "ok" (with all of the weight I have in the trunk) the front looks like I have atleast 6 inches to work with.....

haha yeah, you need a drop. the CS doesn't have as much drop as say the flex or the HA, but it should be more than enough for your need
