Default What Spring/Shock Or Coilover YOU using?

I'm in the market for some suspension mod either spring/shocks or full coil-overs. With help from the search function here I am leaning toward the Koni/Eibach combo for about $850 shipped which will drop my car about 1.5 inch in total if on lowest perch for my street use. But I was wondering what is everyone else using, how much for the setup, and be brutally honest in how it feels and works.. Opinions on the tein flex, bilstein pss9 and other cheaper but quality coil-over or shock/spring would be nice. Pictures are definitely welcomed, thanks you guys.

Koni/Ground Control here.

It will out perform anything "JDM" that sells for $2,000.00 or less (IMO).

I actually ordered a set of PSS9`s to try on my car, but just received a call saying they are on backorder (from Bilstein. Distributors might have some in stock). I`m kinda bummed, I was looking forward to testing them for you guys

I'm interested in this setup.

What is the adjustable range?

Got pics?

Track/Street Driving Impressions?

Thanks.
