In the market for new suspension

So currently I have the strut and spring suspension but my driverside front strut seems to have blown out while my rear driverside strut is squeeking like a pig thanks to the mechanics that didn't believe me when I told them I had lowering springs on..

But point of the matter is I'm in the market for Coilovers but do not know which brand of Coilover to choose from thats within my price range. I'm also curious of the 97-01 Camry coilovers and if they could fit on our Solaras or not. My price range is $900 or so but I also want the "stock" ride quality but can be adjustable for the mountainous roads and such. I also would prefer if they coilover could go low... ya know, to give the cops a little something to hassle about haha.

I can only offer my opinion on the Tein SS COs, they'll be a little more than your price range, can't remember what I got them for a few years ago but got them off eBay. You can adjust the ride height to near stock height if desired or lower it as you want. They are the softer COs on the market and you can adjust the stiffness to + / - 10.

Toyo, yeah I saw, but that was after I posted this thread lol. I did hear the Teins were soft but my coworker has Megans on his RX8 and hes pretty low so I'll probably grab those when I get a chance.. Can't way to scrape everywhere.. just sucks cause I need to fix my passenger quarter panel dent or i'll just shred tire for days... fml
