Plenty of options around. Here's the first three I'd look at.

Not necessarily, the Otomoto kit includes springs. No idea which kit is best though.

Depending on when you need them, I'll be taking receipt of my own custom ones soon.

Steel sleeve and a few choices of tops (with bearing and without).

It also depends on what your plans are for your car. Many coilover sleeve kits that come with springs may not suit your needs. There are a bunch of different spring rates avalible. Maybe let us know what you intentions are, then we can help you help yourself. :D

Ah yea true I want to lower my car and stiffen the suspension and I was thinking of modifying my 120 y struts to coilover so I was really just after the Sleeve and all the bits minus springs and I was having trouble finding them in aus. Thanks

If you arent using your car at the track, and just want better ride and handling. Replacement shock's, spring's, bush's and tyres will help alot. I have a 200b and run KYB agx shock's with low king spring's allround, Pedders urathane swaybar and caster rod bushes, cheap Sava tyre's (getting some toyo t1r's soon) and a bluebird diff with a factory sway bar. I think you can use stanza sturts and brakes on you 120y to make it handle a bit better too. My car's a nice car to run down to the shops in, aswell as a bit of spirited driving.

now im not to sure what to do all i reall want is to lower it about 2-3 inches and stiffen it up and make it handle real nice

so u reckon replace the strut inserts or the whole strut? and replace bushes etc etc and get so lowered springs like king springs? atm my car isnt driveable so i cant take it in too get the springs how do i know what i need
srry bout all the questions i just wanna be sure on what to do before spending too much

I would just go inserts on the front(If your strurt's arent bent) and because it's leaf sprung in the rear you just buy whole new shock's. You will need lowering block's for the rear too(Dont flip you leaf's).
Also just ask for spring's etc etc for a 120y and know the year of the car. I would do a ring around asking for prices on.

Pair of strut insert's for the front
Pair of rear shock's
Super low front spring's. (If you can get them, if not just go low)
And lowering block's for the rear.

Which brand you go is up to you. There's lot's kyb, Kingspring's, Monroe, Bilstei,n Lovell's, Pedders, Gabriel etc etc.

And with the bushes i would start with the one's that are worn out first. If you have anymore question's fell free to ask.
