Patrick - I appreciate your input. I definitely hear what you are saying on that one. In the end it came down to two things for us - cost and project goals.

We determined that running coil overs on the front would likely limit us to 275's on the front, but in reality that is as wide as we would ever be running anyway. If we wanted to go wider, that would mean widening the fender flares which we are trying to avoid. The strut based suspension will take more fabrication in the end, but that only costs us time at this point. I also wanted to stick to a suspension setup I know a lot about and have experience with as far as tuning goes.

As for cost - by the time we add up the price of what we have into the front suspension parts, we could not even buy a set of front shocks that we would need (Koni 3012 based dual adjustables). I know this as I just had to order 3012's for the rear of the car as we have no choice and they are damn expensive.
