a set of Koni yellow shocks and inserts, plus a set of Koni lowering
springs. I put them on the car with no other modifications, and they
worked fine.

Ride felt much the same as stock, but with better grip and handling. I
tracked that car for 5 years, did hillclimbs and street sprints, and my wife
drove it to work every day. Never had any problems with the suspension.

So it is possible to have it all Smile

Okay, so I guess may main question is which spring. To follow up on my post above - would the Espelier springs be fine or are they too much of a drop? Will they go well with the Tockios?

Basically I was looking at either the Espelier or the Tanabe.

I just want a stiff spring I can swap right on to go with the Tokicos for around $200 without any other mods. Springs or coilovers, whatever is stiff and swaps on, works with Tokicos around $200.
