I noticed that on of my rear Koni coilovers is blown, so I called Koni and it will be about $200 but it is a 5 week lead time. I am not the original purchaser, so there is no warranty. I think I might just buy some new coilovers and sell my old ones as is.

I am looking for something that is comfortable on the street, but I may do a few auto-x's and DE's as well. But I am mainly looking for something that won't give a bone-jarring ride.

<a href="http://www.purems.com/products/product.php/II=713">I was thinking about these Konis</A>

<a href="http://www.purems.com/products/product.php/II=204">or maybe these</A>

I am assuming I can't really go wrong with the big name street coilovers (koni, h&amp;r, vogtland, Stasis Street Sport), but I was wanting to hear some first hand experience.

Thanks.

I'm going to say.......something German.

I've been in cars with H&amp;R Ultra coilovers and I think they're a good compromise between a performance suspension on the track that can be driven daily without a bone-jarring ride.

Personally, I think the spring rates are too low on regular Koni coilovers.

digit@lex will be installing Eibach Pro Street coilovers (search) in a week. My guesstimation is that they will be similar in comfort to H&amp;R coilovers, but handle a little better. They are priced pretty reasonably as well (avalonmotorsports.com).

..it's a harsh ride . The best option for street use IMO.

They are not harsh at all. They hold great when you push them!

Search for "Pro Street S" coilovers. Stainless steel shock bodies made by KW and MUCH better springs.

Eibach Pro Street S coilovers

went out for the inaugural test drive, and I was impressed! Springs are firmer than H&amp;R, and you will feel them from time to time, but the shocks are more compliant than H&amp;R S4 coilovers, so high speed impacts tend to be muted quite nicely. Mainly, the shocks do a nice job keeping the wheel in contact with the road, so the car doesn't skitter over bumper sections of road the way you may experience with some performance suspension outfitted with cheap shocks. He had soft sidewalled all season tires on the car, so turn in felt a little soft, but I suspect that was mainly a result of the tires. Body lean was well controlled on off ramps (he has a neuspeed RSB too). Build quality and packaging was very nice as well. The set screw on the perches may or may not be made with stainless steel, and the perch had a metal sleeve inside it, so as a precautionary measure, we applied anti-sieze to those set screws. (on my stasis kit, I never installed anti sieze on them, and I've lived to regret that!)

I had to order a kit so I could get the car up and running, so I ended up with the Stasis Street Sports. I just got them today and I will be putting them on in the next couple of days.

Thanks for your impressions on the Eibachs though.
