Default Need help choosing a suspension setup.

Should I go with a DRM coil-over setup. I can get one with a couple thoousand miles aon it for $1200

OR

Go with the Sachs shocks and Z06 springs or aftermarket springs?

Either way I am going with BMR sway bars. I already ordered them.

I'd go DRM coilovers if you have good roads and non-runflat tires.

If it is a heads up with one or the other and the only thing separating them is what people think....coilovers. Cant beat the adjustability of them. Unless you live in an area like myself and roads cannot be trusted for dips, holes, etc. Let us know how it turns out.
