Now that I'm driving my FD which has stock shocks and Tanabe super down springs (1.75") around again, it feels really soft and unresponsive compared to my brother's FD which has Tein HA coilovers. I don't autocross and probably never will. I drag race whenever possible. I take corners pretty hard when I'm having fun but hardly take it to the extreme. I'll only put about 3-4K miles a year so a very harsh ride is ok, as long as it doesn't chatter my joints apart. I have a full body kit which sometimes scrapes my steep driveway

So, in my situation, what should I get? I was thinking either HKS Hipermax2, Tein Flex, or JIC FLT-A2

Or should I just get a set of Tokico Gas adjustables? With the Tanabe springs I have, it might make a pretty good combo

 

Koni shocks, good tires, and a good alignment would probably go a long way. Pretty silly to spend the big cash on coil-overs for the way you use the car, IMO.
