TEIN SS, to understand why, you need to drive with them just one time...

NOT D2... because you get what you pay for

NOT JIC... unless you love the feel of getting pounded in the butt all the time!

where did you get yours from?

In my opinion I got some pretty quality coilovers with sh!tty spring isolators. I only had to pay $20 to fix that. So your response doesn't really make any sense here.

Vasily, I'm still looking up where I bought the isolators from. I'll get back to your PM when I find out.
