Suspension switch

I'm looking at options for changing out my stock suspension. I was thinking of going with Koni adjustables and Eibach pro kit springs. I'd rather avoid the big money I'll lose for a set of coil overs. I need to know if there's anything I should consider for making a change like this. Any compatibility problems in putting these parts together? Installing obstacles? Should I invest in a set of pillow ball mounts? Let me know what you guys think. Thanks for the help.

i would say go for the tein ha if you don't mind a moderately stiff ride. i had the combination that you speak of and they don't work well together. invidually or with other components they are probably good but not together. you might try koni's with a coilover conversion kit which puts you right in the tein price range. tell us what you intend to do with your car.

If you do end up going with the TEIN Type HA, make sure to get the pillow mounts. The stock mounts take a great deal of modding to get the TEIN's to sit right.

So a good idea would be the Tein HA coilover kit or Koni struts and the Tien coilover conversion. Both with pillowball mounts?
Thanks guys. I'll probably make an order before I leave for home, but I'll let you know what I plan on doing. By the way, I'd like to go for a new bushing kit sometime too. Any suggestions on that?
Thanks again.
