Bistein PSS9, good ride and better handling than stock. The range of adjustment allows you to go from nearly stock to very firm for the track. The guys at Eibach shock dyno'd them and were impressed. Great quality at a decent price. See my sig for more info on my install.

How is the handling with the T1R's compared to stock? Better/worse/same?
I can get the KW V2's for about the same price as the T1R's...which would you guys choose?

I'm in the same situation. I was slammed on buddyclub coilovers and although the car felt like it handled good, it actually had pretty bad understeer. I'm back on stock suspension right now and I prefer it a whole lot more. Of course it's alot more tail happy but I've learned to control it.
The only thing that I hate now is the 4x4 look, I was considering just getting springs to lower the car, but I was curious to know if springs would hurt the handling more so than coilovers would (under $1500).

I don't understand why you'd spend bank on a set of coilover's you'll set once and that'll probably never see a track when you could spend under $1000 for GC coilovers and Koni shocks which are better shocks then 95% of the shocks coming out of Japan.
The B-Max-R's are very pretty and have decent specs but, why spend $500 more for features you'll NEVER use? Do you really need rebound adjustment?
