Greg is the first person ive ever heard make sense when talking about coil overs on the internet.


The short story on coil overs is if you have to ask about them, you don't need them. They are not intended for ride height adjustability, although that's what they get used for most of the time, its not the reason or the purpose of said adjustment. They are solely to cut weight and for corner weight adjustment. There are other benefits too but that discussion can get rather technical rather quick. Most coil overs wont work very long with stock lower control arms, but a little metal and a welder can fix that.

Get a set of Hotchkis springs and matching shocks, dont cut them and 99% chance you'll love the results. make sure and toss in new bushings and ball joints when you have the arms off.
