    They're full coilovers. I think overboost.com had them at one time, but not sure if they still do.

    You can buy directly from JIC. Although, JIC coilovers have somewhat of a shaky reputation. I have heard some very bad quality/fitting issues with them, and know one guy who managed to blow one of his coilovers after going off the race track during a lapping day.

    if you want to spend the money, you can also go groundcontrol.. I have heard good reviews about these coils.. but they are rather expensive.

    ground control setups are just as good when spring rates are upgraded and paired with koni sport dampeners, only drawback is it wouldn't be full threaded body so you cant adjust height and preload seperately.

    all the ones I mentioned would have to be special ordered/imported. They are sold in Japan/Asia for fitment to AE101/111 Levins using macpherson strut suspension.

    Tein FLEX

    Just grab the model no. and order from any tein dealer.. FYI toysport quoted me 1250 for the SS

    Out of all these mentioned, Tein could probably give you the best customer support incase you need rebuild/warranty work. Cusco only has 2 distributor in the US, whiteline has one and Kgmm is a EXCELLENT company who develope top quality suspension in japan but only in japan. Bulletproof (Top Secrete 3) is one of the few jdm importers that brings them over and they dont provide and support after you buy.

    This is good info. I've seen the Tein HA for $1082 at Toysport's website, but if the SS is only $1250, that's probably a much better deal. Funny how I've gone from replacing a set of Tokicos to contemplating buying an all out coilover setup.

    HA has been discontinued for the last 2yrs and Tein sold their last set on hand last may I believe.
