For looks or performance? Since depending on which your needs will vary. If performance is your answer good luck finding a new old stock or lightly used Tein set, as they still offer rebuilds for old sets even if discontinued. If all you care about is looks then take your pick from the Taiwanese parts bin rather it be BC Racing, Megan Racing, D2, K-sport, etc...

Look on eBay and buy expensive for performance, and cheap if you just want to get lower.
I went with Megan racing street coilovers, which is considered mid-grade, and they're amazing. 32 levels of dampening and fully adjustable. I got mine set up perfectly where it's stiff for the street but still kind of soft for bumps. It drives like a go kart though. Almost no body roll at all. |

Thank you guys for the info, I'm looking for something that can make the car a bit lower, not like super stancy but enough where there isn't wheel gap, but don't want the ride to be trash

BC Racing or Fortune Auto 500. Either one with Swift springs. It's probably the route that I'll end up going with mine.... unless I decide to go ahead and bag my bucket....

Fortune Auto came out with some for the 6th gen? Interesting, yeah besides new old stock Tein would probably go with them. If you're not wanting to lower it too much then lowering springs and new struts with mounts might be the way to go, though you're roughly around $500-600 going that route. Then again most of the Taiwanese stuff is $800-1,000 and Fortune Auto is around $1,300 for their cheapest set I think. They're all mono-tube and highly sprung, but with Fortune I think you can talk to them before ordering and change the spring rates as well as damper valving to better suit your needs. It also depends on how you set them up, and what tires you're using as well, as to how it'll ride. Air ride would probably be your best bet if ride comfort and looks are your two top concerns.
