Default MTM Suspension or H&R Coilovers ?????
I live in Minnesota and do not bring my car to the track. However, I am looking for the best street performance suspension available. Which one should I choose? Please post pic's of both setups if possible?

Most will tell you coilovers, but I like the MTM setup. Search the archives.

Default MTM suspension is great and much cheaper than coilovers
IMO, coilovers are waste of money if you don't track your car.

Default H&R's are really nice. Extremely pleasant ride & handling. I've got a set for $950 right now for
sale.

Default Huh?
MTM Full: $1,450
H&R Streets: $1,250

IMO, coilovers are <i>not</i> a waste of money if you don't track your car. Height adjustability is also good for people with special circumstances -- like a steep driveway, where a fixed height suspension might be too low in order to clear it comfortably.

Default oops. I misread the price. :-) Then coilovers are cheaper!
I think a set of H&R springs and Bilsteins shocks are more than enough for street car
