Suspension Q's ??

I am looking into getting some Coilovers for my 05 SE. I have wheels already. 18 x 8 and 18 x 9 rear.
I am considering the K sport Coilovers or the Tein Coilovers for the 6th gen.
Does anyone have experience with any of there?
How hard are they to install?
How do coilovers ride?
Do they affect the car?
Does anyone know the best suspension shop in South FLorida.
Are there anyothers that make coilovers for the 6th gen?

Can anyone send me some pics of their ride with the coilovers?
Thanks
Jon

How hard are they to install? nope, you just have to know what you are doing, common sence though..
How do coilovers ride? nice and firm, not harsh at all.. hugs corners way better with little roll
Do they affect the car? I dunno what you mean by this, but it effects it in a good way..

Coilovers do have a harsher ride because they are stiffer, thus the shock of a pothole will be felt more by the driver and passenger, performance wise, they are great. One question you need to answer before installing is: How are the roads where you live? Your driving environment has an overall impact on whether you will like them or not... Just my .02 cents, good luck...
