Question Who has done coilovers? Questions...

I have a few questions for the folks who've done the coilover swap.

1. Which brand did you use?
2. Which springs/shocks?
3. Did you notice a difference?
4. Would you do it again?
5. What would you do differently?

TIA

the coil overs are pretty good but those adjustable perches wont fit the 12bolt.
i have
1. Ground Control
2. 500/150 spring rates, bilstein shocks
3. Noticed a big *** difference over the ProKit
4. probably not since i cant adjust the rear. Id rather have the G2 springs
the fronts are great no problems there but like i said before i didnt like that i couldnt adjust the rears thats why i bought the kit. Oh well
