Default Coil-Overs vs Spring Buckets?????

Hello All,

I am in the middle of a sub-frame build and its time for springs and shocks. I have been studying the QA1 set up but I have spoke to Tyler at ATS and he recommends his Spring Bucket set up.

I was wondering if anyone has either set up and which is the best for street/weekend warrior?

It seems the price is about the same +/-.
Any feed back would be great, and thanks for reading my post.

I have QA1 coilovers and they ride OK, a bit harsh. I would prefer a Bilstein coilover that fits GW arms since I like the feel of Bilstein. If I don't find any, I will probably do a standard spring pocket Bilstein for the type of driving you indicate or try out different springs than the QA1's have.

I think I might be waiting for the ATS coilover set up, I haven't heard many positive things on the QA1's, DSE's I'd have tp repaint/weld on the subframe, maybe have to get another subframe,
