Default what suspension to go with?

I am getting a set of lightly usedtokico illuminas and ground control coils for the front only for around $130 shipped. I think its a pretty good deal and Im wondering if it would be ok to drive around with that setup on the front only lowered about 1" and the rear stockfor a few months until I found something to put in the rear? Or should I just get something else?

no, your car will handle like crap around the corners. wait until you can afford to do it properly.

Like mxs said, it'll ride/handle like ***. It'll also make your car look like a horny cat

Im having a really hard time deciding what kinda suspension to go with on my 2000 si. The turbo is going in this week and Im still jacked up in the sky like a monster truck with my stock suspension! I just want to lower it to an attractive hight, nothing crazy and I want a setupwith handling as the first priority and I absolutely will not deal with bouncing and bottoming out. I could probably spend as much as $600 if it was for the perfect setup.Any ideas?

With that budget, I say ****** up a set of the Tokico HPK's. You will not be let down. That is what I run. Theres no bounce, it handles great around the twisties, and is a suprisngly smooth ride.

Or the Ksport Coilover setup seems like it would be a good pick. I haven't got mine on yet, but I've heard nothing but good things.
