suspension question

Well, I'm going to order some springs and adjustable shocks here in the near future, I'm looking at Tein S. techs and Tokico Illuminas, what do you all think, any reccomendations?

How about these ...

I'll tell you what, I just bought a set of Progress Technology TPG 40-1520. If I get to install them this weekend, I'll post the results. If you look up this company online, you'll see they're pretty serious and have some good credentials. Can't wait to read what others have to add to this thread ...

I have Progress springs paired with KYB AGX shocks and I've been pretty happy with the combo. From what I've read the Illumina's are a bit more comfortable.

S-Techs provide a low (and somewhat uneven) drop. The main complaint seems to be ride quality. MaximaSE96 had them for a while, I'm sure he'll chime in here with his opinion on them haha.

Progress Tech Springs & then some...

The Progree Techs are springs .. sorry for not clarifying that. They are supposed to drop 1.5" and 1.7" , which is not a huge amount compared to ZENN Springs or Megan Racing, but their credentials seem quite good. I was watching these three brands plus the TIEN S's as well on ebay for a while, but decided to go with these for an awesome price.

Regarding coil overs, I would love to see some GOOD quality ones to consider, because the ones on ebay have got to be cheap in quality since they're onyl like $20 to $30 (even if shipping is as much as $40).

I'll post the results of my experience in terms of ride & performance quality and lowering amount, and post some B4 & after pics.
