Default what to do...

ok, well i already have some h&r sport springs and was going to buy koni yellow shocks/struts for them. they are $500 though...i am starting to think that i can get a pretty good coilover setup for a little more and be happier. what do you think? i havent really been looking around for any coilover setups and i dont know whats good. ill be willing to spend around 700 i guess. help me out here. just stick to my plans or what?

i got my skunk2 full coilovers for 600. if you lower the car more than 3 inches the ride is good but a little ruff. anything above that rides better than stock and handles amazing

not worth it, for a little more you can get Konis and Ground Controls which is a much better setup.

that's the stuff!! I have them, you can custom order any spring rates you want. that 0" - 2.5" thing is a lie, though, I got mine way lower than that

from another site:
Ground Control racing car suspension has been racing cars and designing cutting-edge race car suspension components for more than 18 years. They have an ever-expanding line of suspension products for road racing, drag racing, autocross, and street cars; all race-tested by Ground Control to be effective and high in quality.
