keep saving and get coilovers. you'll be much happier. and if you have $900 you're really not that far away.

Wasn't someone from Vivid selling a nice budget set of Tien's for around that price? Check the classified area, mate.

i have agx with eibach sportline springs and i dont regret the $400 i payed for them used. they are pretty soft and if you dont care bout lowering much you can go with the eibach prolines which are said to be pretty good for handling purposes, they just arent low.

^pro-kits....KYB AGX's and Eibach Prokits are used by many included me. I love them. Great intermediary step between stock and coilovers. Awesome handling. I drive around with them on the stiffest setting and it doesn't really bother me.

Tanabe DD over the Teins. The DD have inverted struts in the front and I'm willing to bet they'll last longer than the Teins will under hard driving.

thanks to every one of you for answering me...
is there a possible way to have both ride comfort and drifting ability?

perhaps, but you will have to keep on adjusting your dampening to street, then to drift, to street, then to drift. the tein he spring rates are 8/6 if you wanted to know.

i have some dropzone springs i will sell you for 60. They are inbetween eibach sportline and prokits. After that just add some kyb agx shocks, bushings, whiteline sways. And dont forget good tires. That will be a great handling car right in your budget.
