I don't think I'm taking a second off of my quarter-mile time with 2000$ coil overs lol

The wheels get lost. In that case it really doesn't matter what wheel, or style you go with. Slight accent colors can be your friend (for black, theres grey, silver...). Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions !

You probably wouldn't take a second off your lap time either. You need big money coils to make it worth your while.

Not a fan of the tinted lights, front or back, but everything else looks good.

imo.. the advantage to coils is there is no good adjustable strut to pair with springs.. (at least not that i'm aware of.. correct me if i'm wrong) I had springs and went to coils because even with the bilsteins i was destroying the struts.. also with springs you have a very limited amount of suspension travel until they hit the bump stops... Coils have none of these issues.. they can also be set so they are not slammed... if you are on a budget look into the FurtuneAuto's pretty good for the price

id like to see you actually handle better with springs on a race track, then a proper setup with coilovers...

seriously.. ive been using Tein Flex on my evo for 3 yrs. and daaamn i have a great setup made for hard street use and fast cornering..

what did i get with springs? soft car, tall car, swaying car, understeering car and not a fast car!
