let me know which ones you end up going with, and i'll do the same.
what do you have in mind with right now??

and by the way, what did you mean by "lets hope it wasnt beaten on" if we were to buy used? is there anything to watch out for for buying used coilovers?
I am looking into the same thing. I want the car lowered slightly as well..., I don't see a difinitive answer here yet though..., I want something that could be slightly stiffer than OEM but I want it so the car drops about an inch or so..., Help us...,

You should consider rookieboy's t1r bmax. I don't think his car was beaten at all plus mileage is pretty low too I believe.

hey dave if your willing to go with just springs im running eibach pro sieries one inch drop feels good. not too stiff not to soft but thats if you want just springs.
oh and after i lowered it i could still get the alignment specs in the green!
they are also very affordable comparred to coilovers
happy hunting

that is true...im only planning to drop about 1-1.5" so springs might be the best for me.....

But then again i might wanna try running slammed in the summer....and i wouldnt be able to adjust my height then :/
