cheap and coilovers should never be in the same sentence. depends on how much adjustment you want.

REASONABLY priced coil overs can be found at RE-Speed.com. They are a threaded sleeve that sits on a perch you have welded on. The rears are just adjustable perches that take the place of the stock spring. Swap your shocks for Tokico Illumina's and you'll have a hell of a ride.

I bought the RESpeed front bolt on kit. 200 rate. $300 shipped or so a couple years ago. I took a pair of my RB rear springs and cut a couple coils off to match height. The rates are pretty close and the car rides decent and handles great.

I got a complete SCCA setup for under $200 off of eBay :P. only downfall is that the rear has just lowering springs, not coil sleeves. Probably gonna use re-speed sleeves in the rear

WWW.Re-Speed.com is one of the few companies with an actual presence here. Sam was a forum member long before he became the owner of Respeed. He lives here, asks us what we want, and supports us wholeheartedly.

Also, quality is top rate. There are plenty of reviews and writeups around here.

Definitely go with RE-SPEED after seeing the quality of their parts that's who I'm goin with when I finally get to do my springs and other suspension stuff and really the price point is pretty good. Great customer service as well definitely RE-SPEED.
