Uhh there are a few options in coilovers for the second gen tibs. I'd also like to point out that the KYB AGXs will not be available till 4th Q 2007/ 1st Q 2008. We only have KYB GR2s available for our cars now. The GR2s are factory replacements with slightly better dampening in them.

Coilover Brands for the Tib in no order:
Ksport
Tein
Quest
kspec
Sharkracing
Seoulful Racing
B & G Sport
+ more

The reason I went with springs and struts is because my car will most likely never see a track of any kind. If you were to go with coilovers, be warned that you aren't going to be able to throw them on and take it to get an alignment just anywhere. You will need to shop around and find somewhere that can corner balance and has experience with setting the car up for what you want.
You can take a ride in my car anytime you want to feel the KYB GR2s and the Eibach Pro Kits. My car can become bouncy on roads that have alot of small bumps. Its annoying when you are driving around the warehouses that have trucks constantly. They tend to warp the road. This is due to a softer damning than what is needed for the springs. The car going down the highway is actually smoother than stock but when you get into a turn its a whole new animal. I am happy with my setup right now but then again, it is a daily driver that still needs to be functional. Including when it snows.

Ok I typed enough now.
