no, coilovers suck if you spend less than 100 and just get the sleeves. if you get ground control sleeves, youll love them, and if you get a full coilover like the Tokico Illumina Rs, or Tein Basic or Super Street, you can get them for about 500-1000, and youll love it. its a bit stiff, but not bouncy. hell, right now i have cheap *** sleeves on mine, but with eibach coilover springs, and it handles pretty damn good. If youre interested in those Toks, let me know, ill see what i can do.

teins are great..i have them and the s-tecks that i have are a great price but amazing quality

don't just go out and buy parts without reasearch. check into omni power coilovers, they are 650 dollars, have a two year warrenty, come with four upper pillow ball mounts, and are very high quality. www.omnipowerusa.com
