Coilovers?
Thinking about lowering the convt and using coilovers. Any feedback, positive or negative? Will they help or hurt the ride, how about the handling,can i do them myself? Who has the best prices? :blueangel:

Re: Coilovers? (BigLew)
Coil overs transfer much more stress to the shock towers than
what they were originally designed for. I believe Doug Rippie
was one of the first to do this and he now replaces the
shock towers along with the shocks and springs... something
to be aware of.

Re: Coilovers? (voisine)
2.5 years/12000 miles with coilovers. 8000miles of those are hard roadracing miles on the track with coilovers installed by Doug Rippie ( http://www.dougrippie.com ). The shock towers are stock.
The ride type are selected by you when you decide your swaybar/spring rate/shock combination. Talk to a experienced tuner to get a combination that are matched together and fit your requirements.
