If I remember right you do not need them unless you go over 2" drop.

However, after the new springs, get your alignment checked. If the alighment shop can't get your car within specs, you will need to pick them up.

So far, I don't know of anyone who installed them though. I remember some people TALKING about installing them, but I don't remember reading a review of AFTER the install..(the camber adjusters that is!)

Thanks for the info.
Phase 1:
springs(or coilovers)
rims
strut bars
big brake kit
polyurathane bushings

Phase 2:
clutch(brand?)
Alpine turbo

Phase 3:
new body kit

Phase 4:
install newly rebuilt motor to handle mad amounts of boost.

Has anyone found any coilovers that are available now? I found one set for 370 plus shipping. Looking for less expensive coilovers, only.

That's not a bad price.

Are they the APEX?
If so, where from and do they have them in stock?

WEAPON R will have coil overs coming out real soon. They have them produced now, but they're just waiting for a guinea pig to try them before mass producing starts. You can probably expect the Weapon R's to be between $275-$300.
