I have the 5 way adjustables and some kind of springs (they came on the car.There red if that matters).It feels nice for the corners but bumps are horrible.

I've been using the TEIN Flex Types on both my FD's. They're 16-way dampening adjustable and have TEIN's pillow ball mounts, and height and pre-load are very easy to adjust. The Flex Types are also a lot less expensive than other coilover sets.
The pieces are top quality, and the ride is always controlled and still comfortable, regardless of whether you're driving 35 mph or 140. I'm very pleased and glad I spent the money.

...out of the box I adjusted the coilers by shortening the overall length of each strut by half an inch. When I installed the Flex Types on my FD, the car was 3" off the ground at the lowest point of the undercarriage. I drove the car at this height for about 6 months with no problems, just smiles.
