Default Help With Coilovers Please!

Hey guys I have a 96 coupe that I really want to put coilovers onto. I was going to go with the exotic muscle street version, but the more i read some threads the more I'm not 100% sure what else I am going to need to do this. :o Well actually I am going to have a local suspension shop do it so he can corner weight it and all that but I don't want to send the car there and not have to correct parts for him to do it. So besides the actual coilovers what else am I going to need and is there anything I should let the shop guy know about before doing it? Thanks!

EM did my coil-over set-up. I suggest that you call them and talk to Merle. He can tell you of any additional parts that you will need.

Would you like another suggestion? Take your car up to DRM in Buffalo, Minnesota and let them install their set-up! They put coil-overs on my 96 two years ago and I wouldn't change a thing.
