[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 16579553, member: 117234"] Option 6 for a few reasons. 1. The valving is very similar to the HDs 2. By using the stock strut you'll retain the stronger spindle mount ears/tabs. There is a problem with the HDs bending under heavy braking because they skimped in this area. Look at your stockers and compare, you'll see what I mean. Option 5 isn't bad if you replace the BC coilovers with Feal. From my personal research I think they are a superior setup to BC because Feal will customize the valving for you and have tons of spring rate options. This is strictly an opinion as I've never ran them but am looking in that direction later. I do however have a lot of time running Bilstien HDs on the street in with both H&R springs and MM coilovers. Of the 2 the MM coilovers with 325lb springs were by far the most comfortable. From my experience the people that hate coilover on the street are doing one of 3 things. 1. Running massive spring rates with shocks/struts valved for the track. 2. Running cheap coilovers on cheap struts that make tons or noise and usually can't handle the chosen spring rate. 3. They buy them to slam the car which reduces the available bump travel. So instead of having 2-3 inches of travel they are running around on an inch or less. Every time they hit a small bump or a pot hole the piston hits the internal stop. I see #3 more than anything else. People flat out don't understand what they are doing when they slam the car with coilover then blame them. Definitely get the MM aluminum rack bushings, they are a bad ass mod and really help increase road feal. [/QUOTE]
