Yeah, it's really only the springs and top hats that are of interest. Most will just get Koni yellows anyway. Used shocks are a dice roll at best.

You have the means since you have OEM JDM suspension. Get Koni yellows and swap the springs and top hats over. Maybe even replace some bushings while you are in there if they are worn. You can lower the overall ride height by about 10mm IIRC by using the lower perch on the shock. Bam! stock suspension with similar ride height, completely compliant, and with dampening adjustability. Honestly my favorite set-up on any ITR.

Sounds good to me. So are you saying the ride height would be the same as oem, but also can be adjustable? I need it to be oem height, my garage clearance is pretty close already.

There are different perches where the springs can sit. Pretty sure it has a position that is the same as stock height.

Great news! I'm excited.
