Recommendation for coilovers?

Depends what you want, for cheap lows the joms are fine for the 190 they cost, just don't expect to be doing it on the track.

A reasonable quality all rounder like ap's or weitecs would be a good balance of cost vs performance but budget around 400.

Realistically for a quality set of coilovers you are looking at a lot more.

i bought the FK Street coilovers (yellow) on ebay and there a great job. that back is very firm but not bouncy or that. i left the origional rear shocks in as normally when buying budget coilovers the new shocks arnt built to the same quality as the standard 1s so they usually burst after a couple of months but u get a years warranty so up to you

Within your budget I'd go for the Weitec Hicon GT but if you want something low then one of the FK kits may be a better option for you.

Let me know if you need any info or prices.

I had AP's and replaced with Weitecs - prefer the AP's and would replace with them again

weitecs feel softer

I did lots of reading up and decided to go with KW Variant 1, its supposed to be the best for what you are after. If you are interested in buying KW please let me know as I've got some for a good price.

Well if you could give me a quote for the coilovers that go the lowest... that would be much appreciated. Cheers

what sort of drop do they put out? and how much would you be selling them for?

I think I have a buyer at 380 (they are new unused), and as they are adjustable they go as low as anything else I assume..but low doesn't necessarily mean good for road use as far as I understand it (there is a very good thread on here on the topic).
