Yeah...Just a Lil Background Story...I got a VTI-r
I just did my exhaust at Liverpool Exhaust (2.25 Piping, Xforce Muffler and Hurricance Extractors), I also put a Cold Air Intake...And seriously...I like the Sound and power..It Changed my power band and rips on 4-5...The Sound after 5 is sweet...

Anyways....I'd prolly get flamed again with this Thread but anyway...i'm opting for 18's.. I know, I know...Heavy and Big!! Yada Yada...But It looks sweet azz. Big O Tyres have the 18' Lenso MUSE for $1850 (Looks like the MOMO Sport but in Dark Gun Metal)

Main Question: Which springs and dampener can i purchase?? thanks

options galore... how much money are you willing to spend?

up to $400 can get you springs
up to $1500 can get you springs and adjustable dampers
up to $2000 can get you coilovers

what matters to you the most ride quality? handling? looks?

there are many varibles

It depends..... I would advise you to go for tien coil overs, like super street.... it can be adjusted for street driving where the ride is not so harsh and on the track as well. :D

Boost: Yeah i got the 4-2-1's....But Yeah..i think it heating up my CAI piping...hmm don't know.....

Anyways, yeah...I think i'm goin for the shocks and springs....but i have to find a medium where i am not gonna feel every bump along with my 18's... Which is a good place for that stuff?? Is Straight Talk Suspension good at Blacktown??? hmmm whatcha think???

Search around online, speak to some traders and such.
I have used Teins in the past, and despite the "anti-JDM y0" flaming of some, believe the handling and quality of this brand and similar others to be top rate. :)
Like Armak81 mentioned, you should be budgeting based on your desired end result.

Springs are of course the cheap, budget option and will be short lived.
Height adjustable suspension is versatile and durable most of the time, and damper + height adj. packages even more so.

Good mod!!
Change coilovers is the best way. More adjusting and more handling.
Enjoy!!
