I ran Yellow's on OEM struts for while. It was a really good setup, but I found it wasn't enough spring or damper when I upgraded to MPSS tires. They aren't the stickiest things available, but even they had me hard on the bump stops in the corners, which made things unpredictable.

Depending on what you're getting for tires, and what your goals are, there's still the option of RCE Tarmac lowering springs. They're firmer than the yellows, and were designed with after market shocks in mind. I haven't used the setup myself, but on paper it looks pretty good.

If you're set on coilovers, I've only driven the RCE T0's. I'm pretty in love with them, but I'll let others that have experience more than one companies offerings chime in.

Thanks calum, I appreciate the input on things. I'm thinking of just doing swift, I mean all my friends has coilovers but they don't use it to their advantage, they just slam the crappie outta their car lol. I want performance and none of them understand that. I might just go with FA500 with swift and keep it at that until I research more. Eventually when I own the car I would love to track it , but for now it'll be probably dd, and mountains lol.
