Default ? best Coilover set-up?

What's the best set-up for the money? Koni, Stasis, KW. Are there others?

Default I'm running H&R's and I am very happy with the performance

...but they take a little more out of your pocket than the others..

Default I have the konis

they are good, ajustable both in height and dampning. Which is good if you like a smoother ride.

How is the ride? Have you tried to adjust them yourself?

Default the ride is good

it is much stiffer then before, but that is expected. I have done every mod to my car by myself and ahve doen all adjustign etc as well. It's too bad IMO to adjust them.

Default i have them too and love them..some answers

yes they are height adjustable. you use two spanner wrenches to raise/lower them. to a certain height, its super easy. if i want to go any higher, i think i would need to compress the spring, but i dont want to go any higher. i got mine for 1100 shipped. i LOVE them.

Default Do you really need coil-overs?

I'd rather spend the money on good set of struts/spring than on cheap coilovers.
