Coil overs needed for DD?

I have an FD and I'm looking to get some suspension upgrades.

I have Tokico shocks right now and stock springs.

What I want is to have a even drop all around, the front is lower than the rear so I just want that even drop look on all four corners. Now I know coil overs are probably the best for this since they are adjustable, but since it's just for looks, do you think it's worth it? Spending ~$1000+ compared to ~$150-$200 for springs?

What are your guys suggestions, I'm looking for an aggressive evenly low stance.

I have tein-s techs on my RX8 and I loved the drop and feel. Let alone, the price for them are around $150 shipped. I've done a search on pictures for the s-techs but some cars are even all around and some arn't.

You culd get a set of coilover sleeves from Ground Control for around 300-400.

As for the benefits for daily driving is the height adjustment.


If it is STRICLY 100% for daily driving a set of progressive rate springs would be a lot more comfortable.

coilover sleeves? What are those?

Most likely it will just be for daily driving. Don't think I'll be bringing my car to the track or anything or being serious about it. I mean, the only think I'd do is a hard acceleration and maybe a hard corner, but nothing compared to something we'd do on the track.

We're gonna slap a set of these on Dana's FD. You're welcome to come by and take a look at them on his car to see if the drop is good for you. Hit us up. Should be this week.

I'll give you a call Friday and hopefully be able to check it out and see how Dana likes it. Is Dana still using those AME Circulars?
