I've been looking at lowering the Vibe and this is def one area I'm not good at. I've found Tokico Shocks and Springs and Tein Super Street Coilovers. To me they look the same, but I'm sure there has to be some kind of huge difference for there to be an $1100 dollar difference. Can anyone explain the difference that I am too dumb to see?

Tein allows you to adjust the height and the firmness of the ride. Well worth the money if you go to the track a lot. Otherwise I would get the Tokico's. The Tokico's are non-adjustable either for height or firmness.

So basically the Tokico's are for more of a DD whereas the Tein Coilover is for more of an autocross setup?

Thanks BC! Since I'm def not looking to spend $1,400+ for suspension, I'll def just keep my eye on the Tokico's.
