the Sustec Pro S-OC's only drop like an inch and a half.

not sure if you're planning on a bigger drop than that.

Have you looked into JICs?? Or perhaps HKS Hipermax?? I personally would choose JICs

If the coilovers he listed are the price range he is working with both JIC's and HKS are WAY over the amount he's looking to spend. I would look into a set of something used possibly. You should be able to grab a set of Teins for around $1000 used.

i have d2racing w/ 12F/9R. Rides stiffer than CS but softer than Flex. With a set of TRD sways, they're a good combo.
