[QUOTE="singlespeed, post: 43170, member: 264"] why coilovers? Unless you are wanting to change the ride height regularly, or get it properly corner weighted and need mm adjustment, theres no need. Besides, if you were corner weighting, you wouldn't be asking for cheap. The only benefit would be the shorter shock length if you want a big drop. Cheap coilovers will probably have a normal shock on the rear, with an adjustable spring platform to raise/lower the back end... Hence a shorter stiffer spring to accomodate the platform and hence a harder ride. On the front, you will likely get a harsh ride due to the spring being much stiffer than required, to take account of the lower ride settings being usable. I put Weitec GT coilovers on my Audi and wish i had just gone for decent springs. [/QUOTE]
