I looked long and hard for coilovers and everyone gives you a different opinion of the things, so I decided to go with some company that most of you have never heard of www.cosmoracing.com. I bought my intake from them and they had great buisiness, so I gave them a chance with there coilovers. They are like the skunk 2 I think, but I only paid 175 shipped to me and I love the coilovers alot. They work great with the KYB agx struts. I don't know, the ride is stiff, but not too bad with the struts tuned right. Check them out, they are good priced and very responsive to email.

I thought the same thing, until I bought them and installed them. I figured if they were ****, then i would return them or sell them but not anymore. Seriously, I think they are top quality, but who knows. Also, I love the 2 spring design, that is definately the way to go imo, much better than friends of mine single spring.

No, there's actually two springs on top of each other. The top one is very soft, bottom is harder.

That kind of setup is usually only used in drag setups though....

it's called a helper spring. one spring absorbs the softer road imperfections & the other comes into play with bumpier and cornering harder.

weaponR circuit pros also has the dual spring coilovers but they're garbage.

i got gsr rate skunk2s with koni yellows. rides great, the shocks are set to soft and combined with the skunk2s, i got a good daily driving experience.
