i had skunk 2s slammed on my 10 year old stock struts for almost 3 years, no problems, decent ride compaird to friends cars with different coilover set ups. i guess it all depends on peoples experiences, but i give them a thumbs up for the price.

If you're on a budget look into Ground Control, Koni and KYB for suspension.

Got money falling out of your pocket? Read some good thing about the Advance Design coilovers (~$3200 for a set) on some of the SCCA forums.

if your goin handling, get something wit linear rate springs.....wich most coilovers come with, but if u get springs the ride will be more comfortable, becuz there non-linear spring rates.....better for comfort but bad for handling....

Cool!! Glad you're not turbo'ing the R.

What engine are you going to turbo in the hatch? LS?

yea, i came around.....either ls or gsr, but i'm leaning toward ls just because they are cheaper and easier to come by....
