How is Fortune Auto thought of around here? They have some good publicity on NASIOC and make some great products, for the price. They have a model that is a coilover that is height adjustable but preset dampening.

On that note, so does racecomp engineering: Tarmac Zero model, I believe. Both are well below your $1,500 budget.

I will go coilovers in the future but for now I'm ballin on a budget just like you. lol.

The only KWs with custom valving are our RCE Tarmac series built by them for us.

I thought @robispec offers custom-valved KW coilovers as well.

Thanks everyone, I think I'm just gonna wait for the TRD springs since they seem to be rather affordable and i can keep my warranty without the hassle

I was eyeing on Bilstein PSS14 but im not sure if Im ready to pull the trigger on it. Has anyone tried these yet compared to stock or aftermarket springs? how many inches can these kit go low? Are there any Swift Spring upgrade for these coilover apart from Fortune Auto & ISC N1?

I just got the Eibach Pro spring kit and love the look with the addition of some spacers. Running 225/45/17 meaty MPSS tires. Go for springs now and if/when you stock struts/shocks(whatever you call them) blow, you can get nice Koni or other aftermarket.
