Anyway. I need some help on which coilovers i should get for my car. I've heard/read a lot of good reviews on the KW's, but there are some other coils that have the same amount of good reviews. Any advise, thoughts, tips, and/or violent reactions will be welcomed.

Just enough time to amass some cash to give to a buddy to help throw this thing on, 8 hr install. I'm shooting to have everything on and ready for dyno tuning by mid-Feb., but we'll see...
Stage 2 is coming out. might go with the FBM Turbo Kit just waiting for some reviews about FBM's Kit, unless someone develops ITBS for the FA20.

EDIT: Anyone got coilover recommendations?
