Depends, how patient you can be. I ordered and will be trying a set of KSport coilovers for Michael (Acuteperformance) and will be posting a review. I am excited by the technology involved in them, such as the bushings in the upper mounts to prevent metal to metal contact - reducing noise. They will be far more reasonably priced than other coilovers and have a good warranty. Keep your eyes out for the review

I am thinking of doing a full DIY with plenty of pics, we'll see what happens. You know how it goes, you start to do a DIY then skip a few steps because you're busy DOING it then it all comes down to pretty pics

Hi,

If you want coilovers (~$1000), I urge you to wait for John & Melvin's reviews. They've pre-ordered a couple sets and will be giving a review hopefully 1st week of May. If you just want to replace your shocks, you can purchase Koni's (~$500).
