if ur gena stick with getting tokico shocks then i'd go with some coilovers. the tokicos tend to not settle on the passenger side for some odd reason. if u had coilovers u'd be able to adjust the height so it'll be even all around.

 

^^ What he said...

 

budget is kind of tight right now so im thinking of getting newspeed sport springs + tokikos hp shocks.im also considering the tein basic coilovers,and the tokikos hp+^^those ground controls looks good too.
my cousin has the tokikos hp+newspeed sport setup and looks even all around plus the car rides pretty good,but since its almost winter im not in a rush to get it, just want to know my options,thanks for the help.

 

if your on a tight budget i would go with springs and shocks, but with coils you do have that controle of were you want it, if you not getting now..just save up

 

What's the disadvantage to coilovers?

 

yeah thats what i will do,thanks for the help guys.

 

stiffness and generally bouncyness if you get cheapo ones.

 

If you're on a budget and just going for looks why not skip the shocks? Just get a set of dropzone coilovers for $300 max and call it a day.
