Default Coilovers

I think I've decided to go with Tien Type Flex Full Coilovers. What do you think. Is there anything else I should do while putting it in? IE camber kit, controller arms and so on.

Thanks

Camber kit depending on how low your going to go, but you got coilovers...so your going to go low. But you will be really happy with thos I think, they are a really nice set, and tein is a great company. You just need to get EDFC and you will be set.

edfc is tein's electronic damping force controller. its is really cool and from inside the car you can control how stiff they are. the name says it all. i think its about $400

Ya what he said^. You controle the soft/stiffness of your shocks from inside your car. Change it when you want. It is expensive, but if your going to do tracking events and such its a good idea.

Its pretty much what you want. Its nice to have for people who track because they can set it on the go. You can switch from track set up to street set up too. But unless your a avad racer, I wouldnt get it.

Some really high end cars have the same stype of systems from the dealer.
