Hi Guys,

Looking to up-rate suspension so interested in Tein coil-overs or any other options.
Also still looking for rear fog light cover in case someone has a spare.

You most certainly get what you pay for with coilovers.

Meister-Rs are ones to consider alongside Tein Street Flex.

Yeah the top mounts have 5 studs instead of 3 so you can fit the JDM type s strut bar.

The Tein Basis are good value IMO. They appear to be a re-named version of the former Tein Basic coilover which I have on my 5th gen. They are a good all rounder for decent money but you have to use OEM top mounts.
