I'll go with pedders if i don't find any good reviews on the cheaper ones, pedders being the most expensive.
I highly doubt i'll go used. I just never trust it when you have to ship things over the internet. I rather see what i'm buying in person or buy from a trusted company where i can return it if i don't like it.

I think i'm very interested in the ARks right now, i'll do some searching, but if you have a review on them let me know, otherwise i think i will go with pedders after reading that thread about them

Holy **** $230 for those ARKs, I bought mine directly from them for $189 plus shipping.
I love mine right now, Comfort is nice, not too soft not too stiff. I actually slimmed off a second or two from my lap time with them so I can say the performance is good also. The stance is one of the best I've seen so far.

so where does cost fit into this? Pedders are the best, but are the most expensive. I have SSCs and I love them. They ride almost exactly the same as a stock TC, so a little stiffer than the G5 (isn't that what you have?). They handle fairly well. Actually to put it best, they are TC springs but lower. They are pretty much the same in every other way. Honestly if I was gonna do it again or I switch, I'm getting pedders. Better to spend the extra money and do it right the first time.
you had 3 thinks listed as what you are looking for........1. ride quality 2. drop 3 handeling. not anywhere do i see cost being a main factor. pedders will give you what you are asking for especially on fe5(lnf) struts. they by far have the best spring rates and are actually made for the car unlike all of the other springs out. if you wanna spend a ton of money and get real low and good handling buy GOOD coilovers if not just do it once and buy pedders and be happy the first time around.
all in all on the fe5 struts h&r, eibach sportlines, zenn, tenzo, progess etc etc all downgrade the handling from cars ive ridden in. the only springs that make it better with a pretty good ride is pedders and the eibach pro kit. biggest downfall to the pro kit is spring length and an extremely poor drop.
Any spring OTHER than Pedders will downgrade the handling ability on the TC.
SSC's are about the same spring rates as an SS/SC's stock springs, not TC rates.
You get what you pay for, always.
I'm going to do more research are ARK because they are 230, ARK makes quality products, and so far a lot of people say the ride comfort is really good, and it looks like it lowers your car a little more then pedders.
