[QUOTE="Coop, post: 110490, member: 332"] On the note of coil overs, if you plan on making a performance setup with it (i.e., from street to track and back again), and you'd like to be able to adjust for optimum road conditions, I'd recommend double adjustable struts and shocks. I've got the Koni sport yellows DA up front, with a 12-275 spring for the streets. That's actually fairly soft, but with a quick spring change, like a 10-350 or even an 8 coil spring, I can adjust the compression and rebound accordingly and head to the open track with the same strut. In the back, I'm limited to 12-way rebound adjustable shocks right now, but plan on going with a DA shock as well. Springs are pretty cheap and you should be able to afford to keep a couple of different spring rates on hand. DA shocks/struts give you this extra flexibility, IMO. __________________ [b]99 Cobra coupe[/b] heavily modded daily driver!
