I had originally planned to use Tein SS coilovers but these are $1350 plus alignment and camber kit. Instead, I installed Tein S-tech springs with Tokico struts. Tein S-tech springs drop the front 1.75 inches and the rear 1 inch to level out the car. They also correct understeer problems by changing the front spring rate to softer and the rear spring rate to much stiffer (250 lb/in) A whiteline 21mm rear sway bar would also help but Turbo comes first

Here is a shot of my newly painted and sealed calipers. Soon they will be clamping down on crossdrilled rotors. Notice the ugly fender gap? That is solved by my springs.
