What everyone sells as a "coil-over" kit is just a strut/shock with a threaded body, and springs/perches/etc, so that ride-height is easily adjustable.
+1 to that.

K-sports makes a tarmac version of their coilovers (same housing stiffer springs, different damper rates i believe) $1200 ish ? My pillow ball mounts are just now starting to make noise, and i've driven on them soo hard. Car has been jumped at least a dozen times.

Cory's and Kevin's coil overs are awesome, btw maybe look into them?

If i can find a good enough deal i may be buying SPT-pink STI coil overs (only using the dampers) I'll have some STI pink springs and top hats you could buy off me maybe mate those with the tokico Dspecs ? (not sure if they would have enough dampening for those)
