Yes, all USDM VIIIs have the clear stockers, even the MRs. That was my point...

Ok, in your first post, you gave no details about what you wanted. Now that you've given some basic details, I can suggest something other than Motons. For a little more performance, you should get a set of $800 Megan Streets. By default, you will get the lowering effect.

Tein basics???? NO way. Not even worth a second thought.

What type of rims and tires? For racing...or just for looks? I need to know what you're trying to do, otherwise I can't give a suggestion.

Dont get the basics

Get BC Racing or as Warr suggested the Megans which are made by BC anyway.

Some guys have really good things to say about these:

They come pre-set up. All you have to do is get them aligned and corner balanced.

About double what he will pay for basic Megans, and he has no intention of racing, so that's why I didn't mention them.

Well, unlike yourself, some people consider things besides price

That's why I mentioned them

Besides, the title of this thread is "Coilover advice" not "What's the suspension equivalent of the Warrtalon package
