Need help with coilovers Okay i'm going to buy coilovers tomorrow and i just want to know what you guys think, i'm going to use it for street use maybe the strip like a few runs but nothing major..
buy ground control coilovers.
500 lb front and 150 or 175 rear.
Strano springs use 500f/150r and most everyone is satisfied.
I'm going w/ ground control 500/175r more for handing and auto-x than softer for drag. But you should be OK w/ either, and 150 would be better for street.

Oh you meant coilover springs? Not coilover sleeves?
Whatever, either one is a great choice. Strano or Ground Controls. Pair them up w/ a good shock, Koni Yellow is the best affordable shock. About 800 for all four.
Or alternative is KYB AGX. (compared to Koni, it's just an average shock).

on the opposite end of the spectrum... i run qa1 "R" coilovers with 275 pound springs, i'd recommend the 325 spring for street strip though. i have a lot of weight reduction, and the 275s still barely hold up the front end.
