it is all depends on what u r gonna use them for ... autocross or daily drivin? or both??

i got tein RA... instead of Flex because RA has pretty stiff spring rate but still softer in the rear than flex..... and im only plannin on tracking my car once in awhile...

also got a RA cuz it is monotube made and aluminum..... which is big differences in coilovers

all the good coilovers are made in monotube it is also lot more to build Monotube than other type....

buddyclub is good too but it will be too stiff for me .....

Sorry Xviper,Thanks.

IWANT2BYS2K,

Thanks.My car is a daily driver, i am not planning to auto X, tracking once in while.What's the spring rates on the RA?I know the BC is 10k and 10k back.The more the stiffer, correct?

How much are the RA?Thanks.

i got mine for low $1500 from http://www.importtuninggarage.com . they are noticebly lighter than stock. i had a little problem with them, but i got it figured out and now they are good to go. if i have any gripe, it is that it might just be too stiff for the streets when you hit shady surfaces, even at the lowest setting, but at speed they feel good.
