    Are you looking for front or rear? what is your reason? better handling? more payload capacity? or to restore factory handling on a high mileage car?

    I'm sure it's just for lowering/aesthetics

    I have a slightly used set of Tanabe Z40 coilovers that I bought from a user on here and only ever installed the rear shocks. Somehow either the rear spring perches weren't sent or I lost them, but either way it stopped me from going forward with installing the rest. The rear shocks are currently on the car but easy enough to remove. The new perches and all of the hardware to mount them is about $400. The full set retails for over $2200. If interested I'd sell everything I have for $1000. So you'd be into them for around $1400 when all said and done. The shocks have literally been on the car for maybe 2 months. Let me know what you think.

    You know what. I'll make it $900 just because I really want to move these. You won't be disappointed. Check them out on their website, Tanabe Sustec Z40 Coilover Fully height adjustable as well as 40-way adjustable for dampening. I've just decided to start working the car back to a bit more of tame state. Not stock by any means, but not lowered and running 19's. I may even have a source to help you out with the hardware for the spring perches to get the price down a bit. Depends on his schedule. If you decide to go with them I'll work with you to get the parts. Let me know.

    So do you currently have aftermarket springs on the car?

    Love the idea of owning those but price range is a little high for me, thanks for the offer anyway.

    Yes but the ride height did not accurately lower the car, in stead of 1 inch drop all around the drop in the front is lower than the rear which is evident and annoying for me.
