I am looking (window shopping, from a linux box no less.. *ponder*) into saving up for some suspension. I have heard mixed reviews on Tien Coilovers ( http://www.optionimports.com/zzt231flta2.html ) and in fact coilovers in general.. Admitedly I do not know much about suspension at all so I am kind of just looking into what all it would take / how long / how much..

What kind of suspension do yall have? How happy are you with it?

I really have 2 goals with getting some suspension:

1: Naturally most important is preformance. Reliability and low maintnence are a plus. I have noticed a bit of a sloppy feeling cornering at 40 - 50... I want to say body roll but I dont know if thats the right term, almost feels like kind of a pivot. I hate it.

2: Because as we all know the Celi is a hot hothothot ride, looks matter.. I was thinking here my goal is to drop my ride about an inch and get some 7th gen 16" rims. Would that fly? Anything to consider here?

Any / all feedback, comments etc welcome and encouraged. Is there anything else I should be considering in the equation for getting suspension? Thanks.

stiffer sway bars will take care of body roll. lowering springs/shocks are your best bet. kyb's are okay, better are agx's or tokiko, even better are koni yellow. eibach prokits drop 1" i think, tein goes 1.5" fr, 0.5" rr.
