Question What springs/coilovers to go with and shocks?

Just wanted your guys' opinion on the type of springs and coilovers you guys use and how they feel?
I am putting on some 18X8 an 18X8.5 Volk wheels and wanted to know your guys suggestion on some good suspension setups for street driving basically, not too much track for my FD.
Thanks a bunch

Go Tokiko and H&R. For more performance oriented stuff I'd say Koni Yellows and HR's. This should be the consensus.

Thanks, rishie

If you're just looking for ride then I suggest getting the Konis and retaining your stock struts. This will be the most economical as well. You'll be able to lower the car a .5" I believe.

I've done a lot of research, and if you're not looking to do a lot of track work, just go with Bilsteins. No hassle with adjustment, and I've heard they work well on tracks too. Just go with Eibach springs from Ground Control while youre at it.
