[QUOTE="NY03SonicConv., post: 15858460, member: 184251"] I was 100% sure I was going with coil overs last fall and like you I want a nice riding cruiser. After doing the research, I like MM's bilstien hd setup, because of their rep.,the choice of spring rates and the spring diameter they use. I'm running 315/17's and clearance is tight. I had two goals with the suspension change, lower it a bit and to get rid of the annoying hop when you hit a bump while cornering. There was a list of stuff I wanted to do, CC plates, bumpsteer front and rear,solid mount the steering rack, poly cradle bushings, poly dif. mount bushings and a dif brace. MM's price on H&R springs is cheap,so I decided to go with them and poly isos, to get a baseline and see if I really needed to go all out on my weekend cruiser.The springs lowered the car,but I don't have much info on the handling yet(snow and potholes), but the 10 miles I have driven have been great. Now that the basics are done, I'm going to drive her for the summer and then decide if I want to spend the money to switch to coilovers. One thing I'd factor in is strut tower braces, coilovers put a lot of stress on our verts. [/QUOTE]
