Welcome to the forum.






With that budget, I would recommend getting springs. Inexpensive coils can not be serviced. Coils have a max life (generally) of 50K miles. And, unless you need the extra room for wide wheels, are set on being 1" from the ground, or are into the stance life. You will be happy with a set of drop springs.


I have 60,000 + Miles on my stock struts and Eibach prokit springs.

The only coils I would consider in that price range are Teins.

The coils I would buy, If I had the money (which I do not); KW3.






Additionally, Most guys (hey just like me) will rep their setup hard. So you may get a ton of different answers.


My best advice: Read, read, read, then purchase. There is tons of good info on this forum.
