I decided to go with ST coilovers, which are adjustable and have mounts that allow for front camber correction as I was told. Just need LCAs to adjust rear camber.

I'll look into v1s, I'm already spending more than my original plan at $1k but I'll price them out.

Or maybe the bilsteins, they are $1000ish.

As you live in NJ, you're probably better off with a stainless option, the B14's are cheaper than the V1's and still stainless steel. I think the B14's is your best option.

We do carry Bilstein (actually we helped a little with this application) even though they're not on our website. At your budget it might be the best option to go with.

ST coils have front camber correction? Who has that?

I'm actually kinda in the same boat as Ryan (B-R-Z) in terms of what I'm looking to get. Don't really want to spend a ton, just want a decent drop for looks, and planning to get 18s too.

I was thinkin of getting Eibach sportlines but is it really that bad? A 1.5" drop would be perfect for me.

I decided to go with prokit on stock shocks. I figured it would be overkill to get a nice coilover setup when I just drive my car on the streets, never tracked. When and if my stocks blow I will get some koni yellows and call it a day.

I will probably get those bolts from Subaru to adjust front camber, not sure what my options are for the rear since LCAs will lower it even further making it uneven.

What made you choose prokits over sportlines? I figured the lower drop would look better.

Don't want to go too low, this car is kind of low to begin with. The drops I've seen with 18" wheels looks perfect.
