Tokico Illumina II's ( Tems Compatible ) are about 450+ shipped and depedning on how long your suspension has been in poor condition, you'll want to replace the springs too. New springs plus illumina II's cost more than my coil-overs.

One more added benefit of getting rid of tems is it is much easier to find strut tower bars.

One handy feature about the Nex coil-overs i bought is that they keep the ride height adjustment seperate from the spring stiffness adjustment, so you can have stock height with tighter springs. Just make sure if you lower it, you tighten the springs accordingly, because I didnt and now i get pissed every time my car drags on something. Ask Btwilson86

did you keep the springs stock?

@triple C. They seem stiff yet agile. Which megans and with what springs? Also, this might be off topic, but is that the sound of the BOV or the wastegate? I have a ssqv on mines and it sounds nothing like that. Its just makes a whistle sound when turbo kicks in

If you are worried about ride height, you should stay with the stock height. I have Eibach springs with kyb struts and I have to constantly watch where I drive. It is a waste spending money on coilovers(shock and strut come together as one) if you stay at stock height. If you replace the old bushings get new struts and springs(if you choose) as well as some bigger swaybars, you will notice a HUGE difference over the worn out struts you have now.

Adjustable coil-overs have their own springs on them that are matched to the unit.

The ebay store I bought mine from was maxspeedperformance.

bryanf89 - They are megan springs (18 KG and 14 KG i think), and that is my HKS BOV (you like dont you, so do i - theres nothing like that BOV scream)
