If you're going to get sleeves like skunk2, ground control, etc. go with ground control. If you're going to get real coilovers, look at Tein, Tanabe, Apexi, Koni, etc.

Also, if you get sleeves, you'll need new struts with them.

No, true coilovers are an integrated spring/strut combo.

koni doesn't have the full coilover yet, but i'll keep an eye on tein and apexi
