Default Decent JDM Coilover

hey all,

I'm new to the coilver scene and I need your advice in finding a good jdm coilver for MY07. I was pointed in the direction of the JIC FLTa2 setup, but as we all knwo they're about 2 grand, should i just look for a used set? Are they worth the money? If not what are some other options

Well, you asked about "JDM" but just food for thought:

KW and Bilstein are made in Germany, but they are probably the best you can buy for under $2K.
