if your using trd or tokico hts you have cut the front case or the front will be higher than the rear. At the same time your lowering your car with full shock travel(you really need this on short stroke shocks)

truenosedan - has very nice coilovers for front, i have been unable to afford some but a mate has, nice with neat welds.

yeah just get front coilovers and some decent rear suspension
or if u can afford to make the rear of the car suit the coilovers, then go for it

y is it that you dont recomend getting rear coilovers.

truenosedan do you have the kit to make it all your self or is it already to bolt into the car?
