The "Then and Now" thread

What's your suspension setup?

Tein S-Tech's and Tokico HP's. Handling-wise there wasn't much of an improvement over stock but the drop and stance is nearly perfect IMO. I'd like to go with a good set of coilovers in the future like the Tein SS's or maybe a little cheaper with something like Ground Control Coil Sleeves and Tokico Illuminas.
