Or forget the tokicos n springs ... Get the coilover ... It's adjustable .

Tokico blue +spring will cost you around $600 , for $300 more you can get a decent brand of coilover

Thanks.. I was thinking about these teins - price wise they look very attractive. I also have had good experience with tein (control series = crazily stiff and crazily low) with my former JDM Integra TR in the past.

I kind of suspect these specific (street basis) teins are comparable or may be even softer than tokicos paired with proper springs. Entry level teins are often quite soft.

Anyone can shed light on this please?

Another consideration for myself is durability / longevity: you can easily buy any one of the four tokicos from e-bay in case something goes wrong (I may be overly pessimistic but things happen, I also do not plan to sell my mad egg in the foreseable future).

Thanks, man

As I said before - teins looks attractive but I want to try tokicos first. I basically a car that feels more sporty than now (it is quite stable on the road already but does not feel fun enough).

For the difference in price I can also get some intake )) which, coupled with my soon to be delivered megan muffler may give me couple more HPs ))
