help with coilovers...

Save up more. Coilovers that cost less than 1k are usually not as good as a good shock/spring combo. Budget coilovers are usually Taiwanese junk with bad valving and worse

Save up more. Coilovers that cost less than 1k are usually not as good as a good shock/spring combo. Budget coilovers are usually Taiwanese junk with bad valving and worse quality control. If you want handling, Koni yellows and Swifts will likely outperform cheap coilovers. The only reason to buy $1k coilovers is to be able to drop it beyond what springs would allow (but then you get into suspension geometry issues). BC would be the best option if you absolutely have to buy cheap coilovers. I'd buy a set of used KWs and have them rebuilt if it were me.
