However, even with Intrax or Tanabes they are still not low enough. With the price of springs and brand new strut assembly, new mounts, spring bushings, it kinda makes you lean towards coilovers.

My Kyb gr2 and tanabe df210 setup came out to $450 (plus another $40 for front and rear bump stops, if needed) and installation i did myself. which is easy with the help of somebody else. So cheapest coilovers are like what $950. So they not really leaning towards the price of coilovers just yet.

Now if you decide to go with Koni Yellow adjustable struts. then ya those are expensive. and it would probably be better to get coilovers instead while your already spending that much money.

Koni Adjustables cost around $170 for each strut. and plus whichever springs you decide to put, which is another $180

Trust me they will make you lean towards coilovers you havent even factored new strut mounts which are over 100 dollars, Megan coilovers for about 800ish so you're looking at at least near 600 bucks. This puts you in the price range for coilovers. And trust me again after going through 2 different spring, shock setups, still unsatisfied, I went for coilovers the 3rd time. The kicker that makes you go for the coilovers is that you spend a couple hundred more and you get damper, camber, and height adjustment. So yes you do fall and lean in that range already. I would quit wasting time and springs and shocks unless that is the perfect setup you want meaning height and comfort.
