It all in your preference. Neither are damper adjustable ,or lower perch height adjustment as well as they have no pillow ball mounts.

APEXi MSRP = $1390.00 Rates are 8/6

TEIN MSRP = $890.00 Rates are 6/6

I think the HE's are discontinued. Catharsis, the only coilover i've ever seen you suggest are those KTS ones. Haha. I'm thinking about getting those too? are they nice?

My friend has some silk roads. They look good, manage good, and r strong. He hit a curb and bent his tie-rod, broke his t/c rod, and bent his control arm. but the coilovers r still in great shape!

silkroads are sweet. i love em.

right now my choices for best bang for the buck is the KTS coilovers. however i like the silkroads more the HE's are also good but not the best choice.

the silk roads also have two mountin points on the front lower bracket so you can ajust your camber with them..

as for atreyu they are good, but there are many band that rock more.....

time to change my sig because your the 2nd person to recoginize it...

He's are phased out for 2005, and new "super HE's" (I forgot the actual name) are coming... which are basically Flex with the HE spring rate and valving... they did this so you can use the EDFC with HE's (which wasn't possible with the old, gold color HE's).

its called Type Super Drift

HEs = omfg for daily driving, bumpy as a mother but still good.
