Eh, it's fun to be pedantic but I think in this forum we're all speaking the same language that 'coilover' = 'off the shelf matched spring and damper set'

I'm being pedantic because it's foolhardy to say that 'coilover' = better than stock, when we know that not to be the case. It's the same sort of logic that results in folks buying crap and not knowing better. It's 2005. We can do better than that.

It's silly, there's no non-coilover package for this car by strict definition, OE is coilovers, lowering springs on stock dampers are coilovers, $600 ebay spring/damper combos are coilovers just like $12k Penske's. It's a non-distinction in this discussion unless everyone agrees and has generated 5 useless posts so far. It's like when the interior decorator (gf, wife, paid professional, gay uncle Joe) asks you to choose between paint colors and you say "the white one" and they groan and say "eggshell or buttercup?" and really all you care about is that it's not puke colored. |

I want to go an inch lower but I already scrape when going up the entrance to parking lot at work.
Should check how the midpipe is holding up... |

I don't scrape any more frequently than I did when I was stock... which is to say I still scrape with a fair amount of frequency. Mostly on the underside of the front bumper, or the skid plate (and both of which are there to take a certain amount of abuse).

I've got my ST coils set at almost max height. I'd say it's perfect for thrashing around and not scrapping at all. The ride is super comfortable, much more than I expected.

The question was whether to buy coilovers. If you're buying a coilover clearly you're replacing the stock coilover so it's irrelevant that the stock coilover is a coilover. |
