im not talking about the coilover kit that bolts where the shocks go im talking about the kit that puts the coilovers on the back of the rear end and then it bolts up between the frame. and i havent checked afco so i dont know if they have a kit like this, qa1 is the only one i know of.

I can set you up with AFCOs. But the question is why do you want coilovers. There are alot of fast cars out there with shocks and springs in the stock location.

so you want to spend 6-800 bucks in an area that will have zero gains.
budget set of heads, full exhaust, nitrous can be had and show an improvement.
just my opinion.
