Your question is pretty vague man. What are you going to be using them for? Auto-X, track, super mega hardcore stripped evo tracking, or what?

I have the JIC's too, love them. Great street coilovers, however if you're a compete track ***** you'll want something more hardcore

I wouldn't recommend that you touch your suspension unless you spend the money to do it right and have a pro like Robi do it, otherwise you may make your car handle worse than stock. This is THE guy to go to if you want the best ride, best look and most importantly, the best handling!

http://robispec.com/main.html

I've used him, my friends have used him, he's a great guy, knows his stuff and will set your car up for your type of driving. My friend just set a track record in his class @ Sebring a week ago with his ROBISPEC tuned car, it was his 4th time driving it on the track.
Go ROBISPEC or don't go at all!

I have the cusco zero 2's and love them. I backroad all the time and they work great. Alot better than stock in my opinion. I took the same turns in a stock 9 mr se and i was all over the place but in my car it was perfect.

Most people will tell you to buy what they have cause everyone wants to think they have the best when most people haven't tried different types of coilovers on there own car. Your best bet is to figure what you really want to do with your car first then talk to people who are doing it and have experience setting up suspension for that particular field

Very similar to what I was thinking. Not many people have experience with various different setups and everone will post that what they have is great.
I'd say get a ride or time behind the wheel of a few cars with different setups but even that is misleading depending on how the cars are setup.

Honestly, if you spend money on good coilovers with spring rates tailored to your intents you can't really go wrong. Cusco, Tein, JIC, K&W etc. all make very good coil-overs.
