What does the car do that you don't want it to do, or what would you like it to do better? What tires will you run? How much experience do you have? What are your roads and/or tracks like? Are you planning any functional areo mods? What do you plan to run for a brake setup? What type of balance do you prefer? What sway bars do you plan to run? Will you be using sways as a tuning tool or a roll mitigation tool? Do you prefer soft sidewalls and stiff dampers or vice versa? ....?

If you don't know and you goal is simply the status symbol just say so and those that have the experience can direct you to the right choice. Your not gonna be judged for not knowing, or for wanting a status symbol if you can admit it.

In short; i simply have no fucking idea what im doing lol

Ill answer your questions pp though,

-My roads are bumpy, but not like LA bumpy.
-I want new coilovers that dampen harder and are stiffer, but nothing like a KW CS coilover.

Eventually I will go turbo (AVO kit) so I want something that will be able to handle the added power with out loosing grip anywhere. Something that will plant the car and turn it on a dime.

-I will be running Pilot SS 255/35/18 on some RPF1 18x9.5
-I havent really considered functional aero mods, only a front lip difuser, possibly.
-As for balance, I would like something in the neutral zone.
-I havent figured out my swaybar options yet
-I would be using sway bars as a roll mitigation tool
-I would say yes, softer side walls and stiffer dampers although im not sure how soft the 35 will be on the Pilots.

Im still in the stage of just figuring out which coils are right for me. My last car had some lowering springs on it, some progressive Eibachs around 3.6k up front and 3k in the back. I could go stiffer, but i would like to not jar out my teeth

Hopefully that gives you an idea of what im looking for!!

Edit: revelation i think i just listed off the features of the T0 or T2...
