very expensive, but at least you know that its a top brand name and they are worth it for the money. If i were you, id just wait for some 2nd hand ones to come round. Ebay or car parts places are your best bet.

Most people believe that Tein's are some of the best coilovers for Japanese cars. I have riden in one car with Tein HR's in the front and JIC Magic's on the rear, the car was VERY stiff, but handled really well, considering how stiff it was. They are worth the money if you are in to drifting and stuff, but otherwise you could get some cheaper ones and not notice the difference. Also throw drag racing out the door with thses things, your launches will go out the door, cause your car effectively turns stiff as a board, so the car cannot squat and grip any more. You can still drag race (Of course) but your times will go down due to excess wheelspin.

but Troy, the product listed above is for adjustable Tiens... which means u can adjust the level of "stiffness" ...
i have heard that jap suspension is a bit too hard for our aussie roads, in everyday use, but i dont see why adjustables cant be set to a more comftorable ride.
they would improve handling alot, but dont get tricked into thinking that adjustables are easy to adjust.
also, thats a pretty expensive price for it. i reckon u could do better than that if u search hard ;)

Chris if u like brand name stuff then tien sells coilover kits for about that price ... non-adjustables.
Cihan. to lower the rear end without changing ur springs, either put alot of weight down there in the boot... like a dead body or something may do it, or get ur springs cut? both those options are bad for peformance though.

Cihan, get some king springs. The ones for the soarer lower it about 1 1/2 inches. You're probably looking at approx $400 all up including fitting. I've found this height to be pretty much perfect, the car sits low but not too low, only scrape the front chin guard if I'm not careful and the police don't look twice.
