What is bottom price shipped? How stiff are the coils? I've never had coilovers before, so would you be able to describe stiffness? I hear/read some are too soft or too stiff. I would like to lower ride, but maybe eventually try tracking it. Not sure yet, but again heard/ read coilovers are good for this. Thx in advance

Hello! Shipping I'll have to look into, but I have a feeling it's going to be expensive because these are super heavy. So I'm probably going to stick to my price for the time being.

These give a great balance of drop, ride comfort, and performance handling for the price. You can go as low as 1.8" (realistically), but the recommended drop for these is right around 1". For track use they are amazing. On the street they are ever so slightly harsher than stock. However, I keep the dampers at the same setting I use on the track, because race car

I've softened the dampers on various occasions and it eliminates the harshness while keep a good handling feel. I even had to go down a pretty intense gravel road once and it was really comfortable setting them to full soft. If you get the TEIN EDFC active, you can control the damper setting on the fly from inside, which was my original plan.

They're a big improvement over stock on the track. I say the best option for coil overs in the sub $1500 range.

I pushed it pretty hard at AMP my last track day and felt the suspension was the strongest part of the car, making power and braking the weakest links.

Between these and the increase to 17x9 wheels and good rubber, it seems like I've got grip for days.

Bump for a great product. Low setting rides better than stock and just goes up from there. I have them close to the max drop and no ride issues.
