Default Need help in choosing coilovers

Hey guys ,

I realize this won't be a popular thing to say, but. Do not attempt to run a 1.75" drop on a spring and shock setup. You simply don't have enough bump travel (piston stoke) with that much removed from suspension's travel range. Your front bumpstops cannot be trimmed and are rather unforgving, 03/04 rear bump stops can't be trimmed either, though 04.5+ rear bumpstops do have a small foam insert that can be trimmed. If you must go that low, do it with coilovers.

As has been discussed on a regular basis (going back as close as page 2 or 3 of this section of the board should reveal the threads). What to buy depends on your budget and what you want out of the suspension once the setup is installed. Your better off planning on spending more then you'd like so you can end up with a quality brand that has valving and features that will meet your needs, last thing anyone want's of for you to make a poor choice and end up in the marketplace burning money on resale.

there are quite a # of very good coilovers for these cars

first thing to do is decide (and be honest!!) what you use your car primarily for, and what your budget is. From there, I'd be happy to go over all the available options with you, and the pros and cons, to ensure you get the setup perfect for what you need
