for about a fourth of the cost I got my suspension..... and i wouldn't trade it for the WORLD!!!

I kinda don't see the purpose of that, unless the car is seeing stricly circuit duty.  And in general, if you spend about $800 you should have a very decent suspension set-up: Chamber plates, shocks, springs, bump stops, and sways, endlinks, and member braces.

But again, you gotta match things correctly, cause some parts don't mix well.

If you drove my car through twisties you'd change your mind about full coilovers. You can;t beat full adjustability. Plus, for $50/spring I can get stiffer or softer springs

I'm happy with my GC and GR-2 setup.. but i'd bet those JIC's would kick even more a$$ on handling, but would they be daily driver freindly?

I have the tein super streets. $1125 shipped, installed them myself. With tein and jic the whole setup has been tested and each part was chosen because the companys belived they were what was best for that specific car. like damper vs. spring rate. Buying sleves and shocks is hit or miss, you don;t really know if each will compliment eachother especially if they're from different companys. JIC are one of the more expensive choices, but also one of the best. Tein is just as good, but for less money. Also, if you're worried about driving comfort then lowering springs and especially coilovers shouldn;t be an option. with both you're going to get a stiffer ride than stock, some companies try and keep the stock feel, but that's only with springs. With good coilovers you'll definitly feel a difference even with damper adjustments. Coilovers were made for performance not comfort. So. companys that make full coilovers don't even concider ride comfort, damper adjustment is meant to help fine tune your suspension to suit your driving technique and style. Even if you make them as soft as they can go it';s still going to be a rough ride

You telll'm storm!
I got the H&R Springs from Rob and the KYB GR-2 on ebay for $175.00 with the TRD TOP HATS, I bought new spring seat rubbers from the dealer and the car feels awsome!!!
I can't go with that setup cause my car is still a daily beater! Grocery getter!, Baby pickeruper! and honey I don't want to drive today can you take me to the mall car!
Maybe when I get my new family car, I can go all-out on my rolla.
