u get what you pay for....i love JRZ'S/ohlins...if u want a drop thats cheap get a set of espeliler (sp?) springs. stock suspension is really good, and you will need track time to set up coil overs to where you are happy, if u want to spend the time and $ tuning then get a good set of coils....otherwise get some springs.

The stock setup is pretty good already and even better than most spring/shock combo. Even basic coilover. There is a big misconception that lowering your car automatically equals better performance. If you're looking for performance gains in handling, make sure you don't half ass it. Unless you just want to get rid of the huge wheel gap....
