Are you going to be taking your car to the track? If not, you might want something with lower spring rates.

You can probably find plenty of people selling used RAs on here that are getting something newer.

They stop production of these earlier this year.

10k spring rates don't seem all that unreasonable for the street. I think these would be a good fit for someone looking for a street setup with some track ability. Nobody is running these and he does pretty well with them. Beating a lot of cars with high HP.

Are you going to track or not?

For people that only care about looks, and don't plan to track, you can just get the Bilstein PSS9 coilover from shox.com for $1249. If you do want to track, you can get double adjustable coilovers for a better price than most of the JDM bling.

RA's aren't bad at all, In fact I believe you could get custom springs and step up to 12k.
