Well i said i would post my response to my new suspension when i was done. I put in Tein Super Street Coil-overs, Cusco Piro Front Uppermounts (Pillow Ball strut mounts), and KYB Rear Strut Mounts. I figured i should replace it all so i dont mess up anything new. The ride really is incredible. I have them lowered about all the way and it rides very nicely. The adjustable dampning helps out. I drove the car with stock front strut mounts for like 2 weeks with the Tein (back order on the Cusco ones), and when i replaced them the difference was amazing. Not only does it handle a little better but hitting bumps and stuff like that has also improved, feels like i raised the car or something. I also have front and rear struts bars and suspension techniques anti-sway bars. Overall i am very impressed with the outcome and it was worth all the time and money.
