Oh kool!well thanks a lot SemiPro.My first choice was H&R 29591-3 all 4 adjustable,but due to my financial situation right now,i have to go with something cheaper than the H&R coilover system.That's why i was thinking going with ST's.Handling is a MUST and ride comfort is a BIG PLUS.I definitely DON'T wanna end up with something HARSH(horrible ride comfort).I've heard a lot of folks talking about the ST's but i wasn't so sure how good they were. ACHTUNING also has a new coilover kit named VOGTLAND GT3.They looked pretty good and seemed reliable.The price is slightly higher than the ST's.I'll see if can get more details about those two coilover brands before i purchase anything bro...

Given your requirements, you should try to find a stock sport set of coilovers.

Well,i wanna have the ability to adjust the car's height in my preference.Most guys prefer to have sport shocks with lower springs.The bad thing about that set-up is "if your car way TOO LOW" your tires gonna end up rubbing the chassis :'(.I'm willing to spend between $800 to a $1000 on a GOOD coilover system that handles very well and has a good(smooth) ride comfort.I'd rather buy something of good quality and reliable instead of buying something that you are NOT HAPPY nor SATISFY.
