not saying tein is bad stuff. their just low end coilovers. i've had the HA model then the HE model. they worked fine and i had no problems.

The nicest set I've seen were the Cusco set's, just because the Tein's are steel bodies and the threads rust and make the collar hard to move. You can put together some cheap ebay coilovers on some KYB AGX or Tokico Illumina's and have more adjustability for less $$$. The springs are a common 2-1/2" ID and you can get all different spring rates to change them however you want.

I didn't use the springs with the bunk ebay coils, just the sleeves. The R-1 coilovers are decent units with thick rings and nice collars, some of the other brands suck tho, like the red/gold ones. Thing is that if you mess up a shock, just slide the sleeve onto another one and you're back in business.

H&R springs-you can pick up 2-1/2" race springs in 25lb increments from many manufacturers. You'll have to play with rates depending on what you do with the car and how nice the roads are there.
