Lots of threads out there on this already. General Summary: If you are looking for a simple spring/strut setup that yields a nice gain in handling the pedders/TC strut is your best bet.

I like my set up but my roads suck and my friends hate riding in my car because it blows hitting bumps every second. The handling is sick. Long story but some jackass had me swerving between cars at 90mph on my stock tires. Went back an forth 5 times and 6 would of had me spinning out

Whyyoumadson is selling his stance coilovers, ask him before you buy them, you can definately get a good deal from him, and he is definately a trusted guy. Check out with him first.

TurboTechRacing has the best price on coilovers, I bought my Pedders with camber plates for $ 1250!! You can't beat that!!!! If I was you, for coilovers I would contact Aaron at TTR regarding the Pedders.
