Tein basics coilovers installed... pics
ride is about the same as stock, maybe a bit more sporty, but it definately rides good and handles well. Im impressed with what I got for the money! Now for the pics. Sorry the quality sucks, my dig camera broke so I used a disposable and scanned them in, lol.

did you replace your OEM top mounts when you installed or did you re use your old ones? how many miles on your SC? mine look worn and i was thinking of replacing them the same time i install coilovers.

im not the thread starter but ill post some pics of my car later on when it gets out of the body shop. I used my 130k mounts because they were in good condition. I didnt really think there was a need to replace them.

$640 plus shipping. Id slam it more but the right front wheel rubs on the inner fender when turning hard left. Im looking into 19's with the right offset to fix that problem and make the car look good also. Another reason not to slam it is because its my daily driver and chicago roads suck.
I reused the stock upper part, I did the swap at 70k or so miles. I thought the left rear shock was going out but it was just my rear bushings squeeking so I did the coilovers for nothing, well, it looks badass!
