The plan is a set of Tein Basic Damper coilovers since it isn't likely to see a track.

Thoughts?

i don't know much about track set ups, but you defintely don't want tein basics...

if you still use your car as a daily driver then perhaps spring strut combo would be good
such as koni yellows w/ tein s. tech springs or with tokico d spec struts


or maybe try getting the tein flex coilovers.
they're a little more, but i think they will be worth it.

"Plan" was probably the wrong word to use, then. I'll look into the Konis, and the Tokico series.

I'd like:

-Height adjustment only (damping adjustment not needed).
-Factory upper mount.
-Retain near factory ride quality (bumps, humps and potholes...)

I'm sure the snow will stick around for a while longer... It'll give me time to figure something out.

Suspension first, exhaust, intake, wheels/tires, then I may have to see about some tuning. All in due time however. I am enjoying the car as is!
